Mr James Sunday, the spokesman of the Service, stated on Monday in Abuja that further screening of those shortlisted would begin on May 24, 2021, at no cost to the applicants.
Applicants would be invited for the exercise through their email addresses and via Short Message Services, he stated.
Sunday advised applicants to check the NIS website for their recruitment status, examination location and other guidelines for recruitment.
He stated also that those shortlisted for the next screening should print their invitation slips preparatory to the exercise, adding that candidates without invitation slips would not be allowed to participate.
The spokesman also advised possible aggrieved applicants to lay their complaints at: nis.servicom@nigeriaimmigration.gov.ng or at the nearest ICPC or other anti-graft agency.
“Applicants whose names did not appear on the website should not go to any of the venues for the next screening,’’ Sunday warned.

Fifty-six thousand applied in Lagos, while 69,000 applied in Abuja.
