A visit to the Ministry of Education in Abeere in the early hours of the day showed how the applicants in their numbers rush towards the Secretariat to obtain the log-in pin with the payment of N3,000.
An estimate of about 7,000 applicants are said to have paid for the application form for 2,500 jobs, while the number is increasing by the day.
Some of the applicants are calling on the government not to make the exercise a means of generating funds for the state but to truly provide the jobs for them as promised.
Meanwhile, the State Commissioner for Education, Folorunso Bamisayemi, said the money collected from the applicants was for the Computer-Based Test which will be conducted by JAMB for effective screening of the applicants.
