Recruitment: Nigerian Prisons’ website shutdown

The online portal of the Nigerian Prison Service has been temporarily shut down.

The development came barely one week after the Civil Defence, Fire, Immigration and Prisons Services Board (CDFIPB) invited applications from suitably qualified candidates for full-time appointments to fill existing vacancies into the service.

The candidate was asked to log into the website www.prisons.gov.ng fill and submit the application form online. Applicants were also advised to print out the Referee forms which must be duly completed for submission during screening.

All applications are expected to be completed and submitted within six (6) weeks.

However, a check on the official website of the service on Sunday showed that the portal was unavailable.

The site had a short message on its homepage that reads, “WE WILL BE BACK SHORTLY.”

Meanwhile, a quick tech check on the site by this reporter shows that the site was created on December 25, 2008, by National Information Technology Development Agency (NITDA) and was last updated on August 2014.

The board is yet to explain the reason behind the unavailability of the portal.
