The Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service has announced that people who applied for its recruitment can now check if they have moved forward in the process.

Applicants can log into the official recruitment portal using their registered details to see their status.

Anyone whose status shows they have progressed to the next stage should prepare for a computer-based test.

The CBT will take place online through the recruitment portal starting Thursday, August 20, 2026.

Further details about the exact timing will be sent to applicants through their registered email addresses.

The agency urged applicants to only rely on official information from the service and to stay alert for updates.

This latest update comes after the service previously delayed releasing the recruitment shortlist, which was supposed to come out on August 13.

The agency said it postponed the announcement to make sure the recruitment process was thorough, fair and accurate.

The recruitment exercise opened on July 28 and closed on August 10.

Over 606,000 people attempted to apply, with around 407,000 applications successfully submitted.
