The recruitment of 500,000 teachers by the Government got into a hitch as the website for the exercise crashed on Sunday following what was said to be massive applications by prospective candidates.
Attempts to register on the portal on Sunday failed as the website was not available. Too much traffic.
The Federal Government had, last week, announced that the recruitment of the teachers would commence on Sunday, directing interested Nigerians to apply through http://portal.npower.gov.ng.
Checks indicated that the portal might have crashed. The website carries a message, “An error occurred. Sorry, the page you are looking for is currently unavailable. Please, try again later. If you are the system administrator of this resource, then you should check the error log for details. Faithfully yours, nginx.”
President Muhammadu Buhari had, in his Democracy Day speech, said the recruitment of the teachers would commence on June 12.
The Senior Special Assistant to the Vice-President on Media and Publicity, Laolu Akande, in a statement last Wednesday, said the 500,000 Teacher Corps, nicknamed N-Power Teach on the portal, was one of the three direct job creation and training schemes established by the current administration.
“The N-Power Teacher Corps initiative, which will engage and train 500,000 young unemployed graduates, is a paid volunteer programme of two-year duration.”
People should exercise some patience. Everyone is trying to register at once. Soon it would be stabilize.
