The Ebonyi State Government has commenced the recruitment of qualified professionals and graduates on an ad-hoc basis to strengthen the monitoring and evaluation of government projects across the state's three senatorial zones.
The recruitment, approved by Governor Francis Ogbonna Nwifuru, is being coordinated by the Ebonyi State Ministry of Project Monitoring and Evaluation and is aimed at enhancing effective supervision, quality assurance and timely delivery of government infrastructure projects.
According to a Public Service Announcement issued by the Commissioner for Project Monitoring and Evaluation, Chief Sunday Elechi Inyima, applications are being invited from suitably qualified candidates in Engineering, Building, Architecture, Quantity Surveying and Information and Communication Technology (ICT).
The ministry stated that successful applicants would be deployed to Ebonyi North, Ebonyi Central and Ebonyi South Senatorial Zones to monitor ongoing government projects and provide technical support for project implementation.
The announcement said the ad-hoc personnel would be responsible for monitoring and evaluating project execution, conducting site assessments and quality control inspections, preparing technical reports, bills of quantities and engineering drawings, as well as carrying out data collection, documentation and Geographic Information System (GIS) mapping of infrastructure projects.
It added that ICT professionals would also provide technical support for project databases and reporting systems.
"The engagement is designed to strengthen the activities of the Ministry of Project Monitoring and Evaluation across the three senatorial zones of Ebonyi State," the statement said.
The ministry explained that applicants must possess a minimum of OND, HND, B.Sc., B.Eng., B.Tech or B.Arch qualification in relevant disciplines from recognised institutions, adding that professional registration with bodies such as COREN, NIA, NIQS and CORBON would be an added advantage.
It further noted that candidates for ICT positions are expected to demonstrate proficiency in software applications including AutoCAD, MS Project, ArcGIS, Microsoft Excel and other web and data management tools, while a minimum of two years post-graduation experience is preferred.
According to the statement, interested applicants are required to submit an application letter addressed to the Commissioner, a detailed curriculum vitae with two referees, photocopies of academic and professional certificates, as well as NYSC discharge, exemption or exclusion certificates.
Applications are to be submitted either physically at the Ministry of Project Monitoring and Evaluation, Centenary City, Abakaliki, or electronically through the ministry's designated email address.
The ministry fixed July 31, 2026, as the deadline for the submission of applications.
The Commissioner stressed that the exercise is strictly for ad-hoc engagement and does not confer permanent employment status.
"This engagement is on an ad-hoc basis and does not translate to permanent employment. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for screening and interview, while deployment will be based on the applicants' senatorial zones and areas of specialization," Inyima stated.
