Step-by-step guide to applying for FIRS recruitment
The Federal Inland Revenue Service has announced the opening of its recruitment portal for tax officer positions, with applications set to commence by 12:00 am on November 2nd, 2024.
The tax authority, in a post on Friday via X, is seeking to fill Officer I and Officer II positions across multiple locations in Nigeria.
“Women, minorities, and persons with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply,” FIRS stated in its official recruitment notice.
The positions are available across eight states: Abia, Anambra, Ebonyi, Enugu, Imo, Ekiti, Lagos, and Oyo. However, successful candidates should note that they “must be prepared to work in any of FIRS’s business locations,” regardless of their initial posting preference.
To be eligible, candidates must meet several key criteria. The age requirement stipulates that applicants “must be 27 years old or below by 31st December 2024.” Additionally, candidates must have completed their National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) no later than December 31st, 2021.
Educational requirements include “a Bachelor’s Degree (or HND) in First Class/Second Class Upper Division” in relevant fields such as Accounting, Actuarial Science, Business Information Systems, Computer Engineering, Economics, Law, Mathematics, Statistics, and several other disciplines.
The organisation added that “relevant master’s degrees and professional affiliations (e.g., ICAN, ACCA, ANAN, COREN, NSE, etc) will be an added advantage.”
The selection process will include various stages of assessment.
“Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for further assessments, which may include aptitude tests, interviews, and medical examinations,” the notice said.
FIRS emphasised the importance of using official application channels, warning candidates to “be cautious of fraudulent recruitment activities” and directing all applications to their official portal: www.firs.gov.ng/careers.
The deadline for submissions is November 14th, 2024.
Interested candidates are advised to submit only one application for their preferred location, as multiple applications are prohibited.
“The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) is committed to promoting equal opportunities for all eligible candidates, regardless of gender, ethnicity, or background,” the organisation added.
