The Kwara State Garment Factory has shut the application portal recently opened to hire 300 production workers after it received 8,373 applications in less than 48 hours.
The Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Rafiu Ajakaye, said the garment factory was one of the projects of Governor AbdulRaman AbdulRazaq scheduled for take-off in the first quarter of 2024.
The State Government also said the job application portal was closed to allow for thorough and professional screening of the applications already submitted as more people applied for the job than it expected.
“We have, therefore, shut the portal to allow for thorough and professional screening of the applications already submitted,” the statement said.
