The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency, NDLEA, has reassured applicants hoping to take part in its ongoing hiring process that concerted efforts are being made to address any issues applicants are having with the application system in order to make the process more seamless moving forward.
Lagospost earlier reported that the online application portal of the anti-narcotics agency began to experience glitches due to the heavy traffic of over 200,000 applicants trying to access the system barely hours after it was opened on Sunday, March 12.
In response to the incident in a statement obtained by our correspondent on Wednesday, the Director, of Media and Advocacy, NDLEA, Femi Babafemi, said the system was currently synchronising the data at the back-end of the infrastructure in order to adjust to the server upgrade.
He also noted that the agency upgraded the infrastructure on Tuesday, March 14 to accommodate the large volume of applicants after over 53,170 applicants had successfully logged into the portal.
Babafemi said: “The NDLEA has assured candidates seeking to participate in its ongoing recruitment exercise that concerted efforts are being made to resolve challenges they are facing on the application portal with a view to making the process seamless any moment from now.
“Barely hours after the online application portal was opened on Sunday, March 12, it began to experience glitches due to the heavy traffic of over 200,000 applicants trying to access the system.
“To resolve this, the agency upgraded the infrastructure on Tuesday 14th March to accommodate the large volume of applicants after over 53,170 applicants had successfully logged into the portal.
“At the moment, the system is synchronising the data at the back-end of the infrastructure in order to adjust to the server upgrade. The agency’s management, therefore, wishes to apologise to the applicants for the hitches being experienced and urge them to exercise patience while the system completes synchronisation to serve them better.”
