Sorry for the long epistle in advance, but I have to write this, who knows? I might get help..
I finished my youth service July 2015. At the time I finished, I didn't know anything about registering with the civil service commission to get a file number to aid employment with the Federal government but somehow, I later got to know towards end of last year, that was around November or so.
So, I went to the federal civil service commission at abuja and was directed to my state office (Ondo), on getting there, they asked to see my original credentials and I showed them all, after that they gave me a list to write my name, course of study and phone number. After that, I now asked them what is next? They said that was all.. I then told them that was not the orientation I got before coming. People that have done it in the past told me i'll be given a form to fill after which a file will be opened for me and I'll be given a file number. Immediately, they countered me, they said they no longer do such. That they've stopped the manual process that I should check their website and register there. So, I went home that day, hoping to register at their site when I get home. On getting home, I realised there was nothing like that on their site, it was more like they just deceived me. I was really pained cos I didnt have a job, had to collect tfare from my parents to go there. That one passed, some months later, my friends from other states said they registered successfully and were given file numbers, I was angry.. I decided to go back there and on getting there, I realised it's the same thing they're still doing, so I met a woman in another state and explained myself to her, she told me to submit my credentials with her that she would help me, that was early April o. I've been calling her since then to follow up, she's been telling me stories. Now, she has stopped picking her calls. Please I need help, I really need this file number cos I wish to work with the federal government and I heard its a requirement, pls what can I do? Why has our country deteriorate this much, that you need to know someone to do the simplest things. Sincerely am fed up cos am sure some other people from same state as mine that know people would have gotten their numbers by now

Ok. Let me finish my garri and groundnut first. I'll be back to advice you..
Civil fire!

My dear,there is nothing God cannot do.The truth could be very bitter but it has to be told.The truth is that you cannot get such jobs without knowing anyone and your friends may not tell you the truth.I am sure they got there numbers through their connections

My brother, let me advise you.

Stop fighting for government jobs... That's the lazy route to take.

Learn some skills and think of what you can do for yourself. Or start volunteering with a small local NGO and then build enough capacity to work in larger ones. Or go to YouTube and choose a particular thing to learn and watch as many videos as you can.

The possibilities are endless.

Good luck.

Na so

tomorrowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Ok

I want to ask op a question.Did you vote APC ?

@op, must u work for the federal government? if everybody is like u, how will this nation survive? u want the whole of the Nigerian budget to be used for paying salaries?

my friend look else where or start something for ureslf, or better still, start tomato export business, and stop blaming government or anybody for anything.

Na God go punish all these people for all this federal government parastatal.

this op's knowledge seems to be convergent.

Sincerely speaking that is the new procedure except u want to give your money to those charlatans that hanged around the commission by giving u a fake file number after paying some amount of money. The same thing is applicable to my state office (Enugu).

That the new Nigeria for you! Frustration induced by frustrated people everywhere.

I don't even know there is a process like this to apply for any Federal Govt. job

But Op don't wait on govt. job alone, apply to private organizations too. Goodluck!!!

This forum is now overflowing with idiots. If you can't help or give him advice why comment at all?

Anyways OP go there and try to initiate the whole process again maybe they would have changed their ways, else pick another state, I think its 3-4 state per office so you'll have to pick a state quite far from the present state you are using.

this is ZOO for you..

Welcome to Nigeria where the only thing that change is party but the process remain the same thing

I don't know if it's a new procedure, they know there is no job for you anyway, why waste time opening bogus files.

You are right about Enugu, and I can assure u that those guys do not even open that register to see what u wrote not to mention calling you.

Some states will open file and get copies of ur credentials.

Naija

Guy, you are funny o!

You are almost reduced to tears all because of federal queue queue job! Kai

Di d you take a good look at the Ondo state office well?

Did you see files stacked from floor to ceiling?

Did you see how dusty those files are?

Did you know Ondo& Ekiti share a commissioner?

Or they have cleaned and cleared those files ni?

I got d fcsc file in 2012, I have never been contacted! I don't even put my mind to it!

If you love yourself, you will look for Better organisation to apply to

Wait kwanu! How much salary do you think you will be placed if employed self?

That's the new process OP, for Ondo state, you will register at Federal Civil Service Commission and they expect you to fill it online. But to be honest, the process is "Man know Man"
