Only shortlisted candidates, the Commission noted, will be contacted for further screening.
For the officer cadre, the positions available include Senior Officer (CONTISS 9), Trainee/Officer I (CONTISS 8), and Trainee Officer II (CONTISS 7).
The NUC requires candidates for the Senior Officer post to hold a PhD in a relevant discipline or a Master’s degree with at least six years of post-qualification experience, with additional professional certifications being an advantage.
The Commission further outlined requirements for other roles, adding, “Applicants for Trainee/Officer I must possess a master’s degree or a first degree with a minimum of three years of relevant experience, while Trainee Officer II candidates are required to have at least a first degree in a related field.”
Recruitment also covers Confidential Secretary I (CONTISS 7) positions, requiring a Higher National Diploma in Secretarial Studies and three years’ post-qualification experience.
Clerical and auxiliary roles include Assistant Cameraman, Data Processing Assistant, Artisan/Craftsman (such as carpenter, plumber, electrician, and air-conditioning mechanic), Lift Operator, and Motor Driver/Mechanic.
Minimum qualifications for these roles range from a First School Leaving Certificate to an ‘O’ Level certificate with trade test credentials, supported by relevant technical training or experience.
Established in 1962 and given statutory powers in 1974, the NUC oversees accreditation, the licensing of new universities, and the enforcement of quality standards across Nigeria’s 283 recognised universities, which comprise 72 federal, 67 state, and 168 private institutions.
