Thousands of successful applicants in the Rivers State Civil Service recruitment exercise have appealed to the Rivers State House of Assembly to intervene in what they described as a prolonged delay in the issuance of their appointment letters.
The applicants made the appeal during a peaceful protest at the entrance of the official quarters of the Assembly in Port Harcourt on Saturday.
The protesters, drawn from the 23 local government areas of the state, said they had successfully completed all stages of the recruitment process but had yet to receive appointment letters nearly three years after the exercise began.
Speaking on behalf of the applicants, a job seeker, Ajioku David, said the delay had left the applicants uncertain about their future despite fulfilling all requirements for employment.
