Serving NYSC Corp Members can Apply - FIRS Gives Update on Recruitment Exercise

National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) members, the Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has confirmed that serving corps members are eligible to apply for its ongoing recruitment exercise.

This update was shared on November 2, 2024, through FIRS's official X account, highlighting an exciting career opportunity for those nearing the completion of their service.

The recruitment drive is specifically open to NYSC members who will be passing out before December 31, 2024. The deadline for applications is set for November 14, 2024, giving interested candidates a limited window to apply.

In a statement, FIRS noted, "Serving Corp Members who would be passing out before 31st December, 2024 can apply. CITN membership would be an added advantage for interested candidates."

This initiative is part of FIRS's broader strategy to enhance its workforce by recruiting tax officers nationwide. By inviting NYSC members to join, FIRS aims to tap into fresh talent and potentially strengthen its tax administration capabilities. For many corps members, this represents a valuable chance to embark on a professional journey in taxation, contributing to national revenue collection efforts while gaining essential experience in the field.

The inclusion of Chartered Institute of Taxation of Nigeria (CITN) membership as an added advantage underscores FIRS's commitment to attracting well-qualified candidates.

This move not only provides a pathway for young professionals to enter the public sector but also aligns with FIRS's mission to improve tax compliance and efficiency across the country.

As the application deadline approaches, NYSC members are encouraged to seize this opportunity to advance their careers and make a meaningful impact in the realm of taxation.
