The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has assured candidates seeking to participate in its ongoing recruitment exercise that concerted efforts are being made to resolve challenges they are facing on the application portal with a view to make the process seamless any moment from now.


A statement on Wednesday by the spokesman of the anti-narcotics agency, Femi Babafemi while stating that barely hours after the online application portal was opened last Sunday, it began to experience glitches due to the heavy traffic of over 200,000 applicants trying to access the system. 


He said to resolve this, the agency upgraded the infrastructure on Tuesday to accommodate the large volume of applicants after which over 53,170 applicants had successfully logged into the portal.


He however said: “At the moment, the system is synchronizing the data at the back-end of the infrastructure in order to adjust to the server upgrade. The agency’s management therefore wishes to apologise to the applicants for the hitches being experienced and urge them to exercise patience while the system completes synchronisation to serve them better.”
