Applicants are to print out their invitation slips which will be used to admit them into the screening venue on Monday, May 24.

Applicants are also advised to tender any complaints and report to the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Crimes Commission (ICPC) or the NIS website.

Meanwhile, the NIS came under criticism after it shared a post advising Nigerians to "think deeply" before accepting offers to relocate abroad for a better life.

The short message which was shared on the agency's Twitter handle on Saturday, April 3, read:

“Hey Guys, you may need to think deeply over that bogus offer of a better life abroad. You may end up in modern-day slavery. Not all that glitters is gold."
