Searching for FERMA Shortlisted Candidates 2026? Here’s the direct answer: there’s no shortlist to check, because I couldn’t find any FERMA recruitment exercise for 2026 that a shortlist could come from.
About FERMA Recruitment
The Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA) maintains and repairs federal roads across Nigeria and sits under the Federal Ministry of Works. It’s a major federal agency, which is exactly why “FERMA recruitment” keeps getting searched even in years when nothing is open.
Is the FERMA Shortlist Out?
No. A shortlist only exists after applications open, get reviewed, and candidates are selected. Nothing I found shows FERMA opening applications for 2027.
Older articles say the same thing in plain terms: one states recruitment is “not currently ongoing” and that the agency hasn’t released an official statement inviting applications, and another says it “has not begun recruiting yet.”
Here’s what you’ll actually see on the agency’s side right now. FERMA’s recent public notices are tenders, meaning invitations to contractors to bid for road maintenance works, with deadlines in August and September 2026.
A tender is not a job vacancy. Some people mix the two up, and it’s a common source of false “FERMA is hiring” posts.
Application Portal and Requirements
The site blogs point to is www.ferma.gov.ng. There’s no active application window there that I could confirm. Be careful with any site that charges for FERMA forms or claims to host a private application portal.
If FERMA does open recruitment, the general requirements blogs list from older cycles are:
- Nigerian citizenship
- Age between 18 and 35
- WASSCE with five credits including English and Mathematics
- An ND, HND, degree, or equivalent, depending on the role
- Physical and medical fitness
- Good character, with two referees who can vouch for you
- A written exam and a physical fitness test
Treat the height and age figures on blogs as unconfirmed unless an official advert repeats them.
How to Check the FERMA Shortlisted Candidates 2027/2028
We advise you to wait patiently for the names to be uploaded on the official FERMA recruitment website 2027. Once the list is out, you can access the portal by following the procedures listed below.
- Visit the official FERMA shortlisted portal at www.ferma.gov.ng

Apart from checking your name on the official recruitment portal, you will also be notified through the email address you submitted concerning the screening exercise which will take place at designated locations nationwide. So check your registered e-mail address regularly for updates regarding the screening process.
All 2026 applicants are required to bring the following documents to the screening center for further verification.

- Original and photocopies of your credentials
- A valid means of identification such as a Voter’s card, National ID Card, Valid Driver’s License, National Identification Number (NIN), or International Passport (original and its photocopy)
As of this writing, the list of successful applicants was yet to be published. The full list is now out! Check the official registration portal to see if you have been pre-qualified.
FERMA Shortlist Closing Date
None exists, because no FERMA application is open. Dates on blogs are unverified.
