FAAN. PROCESS FOR SHORTLISTING

Values guiding the process: Transparency, Openness, Equity, Fair Treatment 

Below is the process being implemented for the shortlisting of candidates.

All applications were pre-screened for Aptitude Test against the established criteria that was designed and advertised. The total shortlisted were 36,657. This includes candidates from the hard copy applications as well as online applications.

A unique log-in name and password was created for each shortlisted candidate to be used for the Aptitude Test. This incorporated the unique ID created for each candidate at the application stage,

How targets were set and allotted to states:

For the AGM we targeted 20 candidates to be shortlisted for the one headcount.

For all other positions we targeted 6 candidates to be shortlisted per head count.

The total target shortlist for each job was allotted to States based on the Federal Character spread.

All 36,657candidates were notified via text messages and email with their log-in to go online and take the test. Testing was conducted on two websites.

Once the results were collated, they were sorted according to “job applied for” then sorted again for percentage grade.

The list of candidates who scored 50% and above were extracted and analyzed into three groups:

70% and above

60%-69%,

50%-59%.

The top performer list (70% and above) for each State is shortlisted first starting with the highest scorer until the State’s lot is filled.

If the State’s lot from step (7) above is filled, then there is no more shortlisting for that state for the job.

If the State’s lot from step (7 ) above is not completely filled then the next best group (60%-69%) from that State is shortlisted starting from the highest to the lowest.

If the State’s lot from step (9) above is completely filled then there is no more shortlisting for that state for the job.

If the State’s lot from step (9) above is not completely filled then the next best group (50%-59%) from that State is shortlisted for that job.

If after step (xi) above, a State’s lot is still not filled, the remaining lot is allotted to another state in the same geopolitical zone (starting with the State with the highest performance in that zone) until the lots completely filled.

If the lot for a job in a geopolitical zone is not completely filled, it is allotted to the highest performing state in the region of the country.  

If the lot is still not filled at the regional level, it is then thrown open to be filled by another region in the country until the lots are all filled.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE ENTIRE PROCESS IS BEING MONITORED BY THE FEDERAL CHARACTER COMMISSION as mandated by the Constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria.FAAN
