The Bogoro local council in Bauchi has conducted screening for no fewer than 3,000 job applicants, who applied for positions in the state’s civil service.

Chairman of the LGA, Lawi Sumi, disclosed this in an interview on Monday, during the screening exercise held at the council.

The state government launched an online portal on December 12, 2025, to recruit 10,000 residents across the state’s 20 LGAs.

Governor Bala Mohammed had said that the session would guide fair engagement, adding that many citizens had already applied through the portal.

Speaking during the screening exercise, the council chairman, represented by his deputy, Mulki Masoyi, commended the youths for their peaceful conduct throughout the process.

“The screening committee in Bogoro LGA has successfully screened these candidates who applied. The objective of the screening is to identify the applicants, based on their ward, in line with the guidelines set by the Bauchi State Civil Service Commission,” he said.

He assured that the screening committee will avoid sentiments and ensure justice and fairness in the process.

Meanwhile, he hinted that some non-indigenous applicants had been identified, adding that they would be called to defend their applications before the next stage.
