In a statement issued on Monday, the National Public Relations Officer of the service, Abdullahi Maiwada, urged applicants to visit the official NCS website or check selected national newspapers to confirm their recruitment status and obtain details on the next phase of the exercise.
According to him, successful candidates will also receive notifications through their registered email addresses or SMS, containing instructions for the next stage of the recruitment process.
