The Abia State Civil Service Commission has announced a temporary suspension of the ongoing recruitment exercise previously advertised by the state’s Ministry of Health. This development was disclosed in a Public Service Announcement signed by Dr. Eno Jerry Eze, Chairman of the Commission.
According to the release, the decision to put the employment process on hold was taken as part of an administrative measure. While specific reasons for the suspension were not detailed, the Commission reassured the public that further information regarding the continuation of the recruitment exercise and the designated application portal will be provided in due course.
“The Commission wishes to inform the general public that the recent advertisement by the Abia State Ministry of Health regarding the employment exercise is put on hold for now. The Commission will communicate to the public in due course when the employment exercise will resume and the site for the application forms,” the statement read.
The announcement affects hundreds of prospective applicants who were preparing to apply for the advertised health sector roles. As of now, no new deadline or date has been set for the resumption of the process.
This move underscores the importance of centralized oversight in public sector hiring processes, particularly in sensitive sectors like healthcare where transparency and standardization are essential.
This announcement is especially critical for job seekers in Abia State and across Nigeria, many of whom are seeking opportunities in the public health sector. The suspension may also reflect broader efforts by the Civil Service Commission to standardize recruitment procedures and ensure due process is followed in all hiring decisions.
