About 2,000 job seekers are jostling for 350 approved employment slots at the Federal University Lokoja (FUL) as the institution commences its 2024 recruitment.
The Vice Chancellor of the university, Professor Olayemi Akinwumi, disclosed this in a statement on Thursday in Lokoja, noting that the approval was granted by the Federal Government for both academic and non-academic positions.
He explained that the exercise, which began two years ago with initial processes, only received final approval recently, paving the way for the ongoing interviews.
According to him, the academic staff allocation includes 45 Professors, 14 Readers (Acting Professors), 60 Senior Lecturers, and a few Graduate Assistants.
On the non-academic side, he said the institution will employ 89 personnel, alongside one Chief Health Officer and eight medical staff.
Professor Akinwumi assured applicants of a transparent selection process.
“We have maintained an open-door approach in conducting the interviews, strictly following the guidelines and rules laid down by the Federal Government,” he stated.
The VC further revealed that FUL now boasts 12 faculties, with new programmes introduced in Medicine, Nursing Science, Pharmacy, Law, Agriculture, and Engineering, among others.
