The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) made significant efforts to ensure that the assessment platform for its just concluded online assessment test was available to shortlisted candidates, allowing them to take the required test.
While the system had a few hitches in the beginning, as there were reports of non-shortlisted candidates who never received an email invite, attempting to log into the system, and some shortlisted candidate, who were inputting wrong formats for their Application ID, caused network congestion, and made the portal less accessible for candidates.
However, the NDLEA fine-tuned its system, and applicants were able to access their dashboard and take the test seamlessly and conveniently.
The NDLEA has displayed its commitment to ensuring fairness and inclusivity in all its processes. As part of this commitment, the agency showed goodwill by extending the dates for the test, allowing shortlisted candidates who were not able to write due to earlier mentioned technical difficulties to do so.
This was stated in a statement by the Director of Media and Advocacy Mr. Femi Babafemi “The NDLEA online assessment platform will remain open today Thursday, 11th May, till 6:00 am tomorrow Friday 12th May, to allow applicants in all batches who received an email but were unable to take the test due to technical difficulties to do so. To login, please ensure that you enter your ID in this format: NDLEA-SUPT-2023-1234567890 ….”
The NDLEA’s efforts have been widely praised by applicants. “I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was to access the assessment platform, with very clear instructions to follow,” said one candidate, Victor. Another candidate, Mercy said “I was worried about the technical difficulties, but the NDLEA’s support team was very helpful, and I was able to complete the test without any issues.”
Another applicant, Faith commended the NDLEA’s extension of the test dates, saying, “I was really grateful for the extension, as I wasn’t able to take the test on the initial dates due to issues with my application ID. It’s great to see that the NDLEA is committed to ensuring that all applicants have a fair chance.”
The NDLEA’s efforts to ensure fairness in its assessment process are commendable. By fine-tuning its system and providing support to applicants, the agency has shown that it is committed to providing a level playing field for all candidates. And sets the pace for recruitment process in the public sector.
