Kogi Job Seeker Shortlisted For FRSC Recruitment 3 Weeks After Encounter With Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghan

A Kogi State job seeker, Siyaka Abdulazeez, has reportedly been shortlisted for recruitment into the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), barely three weeks after Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan requested his curriculum vitae following his public appeal for assistance to secure employment.

The development has generated reactions across social media, particularly among supporters and residents of Kogi Central, after several platforms published reports linking Abdulazeez’s reported shortlisting to the senator’s intervention.

On August 23, 2026, Sen. Akpoti-Uduaghan reportedly responded to Abdulazeez’s appeal on Facebook and asked him to send his CV.

Contemporary posts from Kogi-focused media platforms described the Senator’s response as an effort to assist the unemployed constituent in seeking an employment opportunity.

Three weeks later, fresh social-media reports began circulating that Abdulazeez had made the FRSC shortlist. One of the reports identified him by name and described his inclusion as a success coming shortly after the Senator requested his CV.

The development has since been framed by supporters as an example of constituency intervention and responsiveness to the employment concerns of young Nigerians.

However, the circumstances surrounding the reported shortlisting remain subject to official confirmation. Searches of publicly available FRSC information did not independently establish Abdulazeez’s name on an official recruitment list.

The FRSC has previously warned members of the public against recruitment scams and reiterated that its recruitment processes are expected to uphold integrity, fairness and transparency.

The corps has urged applicants to rely on official channels for recruitment information.

The reported development also comes amid heightened public interest in federal recruitment opportunities, with several employment and recruitment platforms reporting on the 2026 FRSC recruitment exercise and purported shortlist.

If Abdulazeez’s inclusion is subsequently confirmed by the corps, the case could become a notable example of how a constituent’s direct appeal to an elected representative was followed by progress in his search for public-sector employment.

For now, the reported sequence remains clear: Abdulazeez publicly sought assistance, Senator Akpoti-Uduaghan requested his CV on August 23, and about three weeks later social-media reports emerged claiming that he had been shortlisted for FRSC recruitment.

The final outcome will depend on the completion of the corps’ official recruitment and screening procedures.
