1. The prospective NPC ad-hoc staff must have a valid National Identification Number (NIN)

The unique NIN number identifies one for life and is issued by NIMC after enrolment. It is used to match one’s biometric data and other details in the National Identity Database during verification and authentication, so a candidate who doesn’t have his/her NIN number can’t enrol.

The applicant must also have a functional Gmail Account

With a functional Gmail account, such a candidate will have access to get important messages passed across to him/her.

3. The prospect must have a valid and functional phone number

When a candidate does not have a functional phone, it will be hard for a such candidate to be reached or called.

4. The prospect must have an operational commercial bank account (No student/NYSC Account)

This implies that such a candidate should not have a student account or NYSC Account, whatever account one chooses to provide must not be any of these two.

5. The prospect must have valid educational qualifications

Educational qualifications refer to the official confirmation, usually in the form of a certificate, diploma, or degree, certifying the successful completion of an education program or a stage of a program, so such a candidate must have certificates such as a Secondary diploma, high school diploma, Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree or Doctorate degree.

6. The prospect must be knowledgeable on how to use computers, tablets and smartphones
