States and Countries Eligible to Apply
The exercise targets residents across Bauchi State’s 20 Local Government Areas, with placement guided by ward and LGA of residence as confirmed during screening.
Selection Process
Out of more than 130,000 applicants, the state shortlisted 50,000 candidates to proceed to the next stage. Shortlisted candidates are directed to log in to their dashboard to check status and print their screening slip, after which local government screening committees, such as the one in Bogoro LGA, which screened 3,000 applicants, verify applicant identity and documentation in line with Bauchi State Civil Service Commission guidelines.
Common Mistakes Applicants Make
- Forgetting to have the Attestation Letter stamped and signed at a court of law before uploading it
- Submitting documents in unclear or poor-quality scans
- Applying for more than one position, which is not permitted
- Losing track of login credentials, since the entire process happens through a personal dashboard
- Not checking the registered email and dashboard regularly for announcements
Expert Tips for Success
- Process your court-stamped Attestation Letter promptly, since this step has an extra physical component that can take time
- Keep your payment confirmation and application reference number safe
- Check both your email and your dashboard regularly for status updates and screening schedules
- Ensure all uploaded documents and credentials are authentic, since false information leads to automatic disqualification
Recruitment Scam Warning
The only legitimate portal for this exercise is recruitment.bauchistate.gov.ng, and the only official fee is the stated ₦500 non-refundable application fee paid through the portal’s secure payment gateway.
Be wary of anyone outside these official channels asking for additional payment to “process,” “expedite,” or “guarantee” your application.
Important Dates and Deadlines
The portal launched on 12 December 2025. As screening has progressed into 2026 across various local government areas, applicants should regularly check their dashboard and registered email for their specific screening date, time and venue rather than relying on a single fixed deadline.
