Punch reports that the candidates have been unable to access the recruitment portal despite every indication that suggests that the exercise would commence today,  Monday, October 18.

Checks on the recruitment portal show that all tabs labelled "check status", "print slip" among others were unresponsive although the contact and landing par were accessible.
