Brazil census drive closes as Nigeria, Bangladesh open public sector hiring rounds

Application deadlines converge across four continents, with thousands of temporary and permanent government posts on offer in early July 2026.

The application window for Brazil’s 12th agricultural census closed on Wednesday, 1 July, drawing a line under a recruitment drive that offered 8,238 temporary positions across all 27 states. The deadline, set for 23:00 Brasília time, coincided with the final day of registration for a parallel IBGE process filling 1,414 additional posts, while Nigeria’s Federal Road Safety Corps announced its own 2026 intake would open on 3 July and Bangladesh’s banking sector prepared to shut applications for 725 officer-grade roles a day later.

The Brazilian selection, organised by the IBFC institute, will deploy successful candidates to the Censo Agropecuário, Florestal e Aquícola from January 2027. Monthly salaries range from R$2,128 for administrative and IT support agents to R$4,008 for regional operational agents, supplemented by a R$1,192 food allowance, transport aid and proportional thirteenth salary. All posts require secondary education; supervisory and regional roles also demand a valid category-B driving licence. A single objective test of 60 questions, scheduled for 27 September, will assess Portuguese, logic, geography and job-specific knowledge, with results due on 18 December.

Viewed from Abuja, the FRSC recruitment targets officer, marshal inspectorate and road marshal assistant cadres, with applicants required to be Nigerian by birth, medically fit and free of criminal convictions. The corps stressed that the process is free of charge, warning against fraudsters, and set a four-week online window via its portal. In Dhaka, the bankers’ selection committee is coordinating hiring for seven state-owned banks and two financial institutions, offering a grade-10 pay scale of Tk 16,000–38,640. Candidates must hold a master’s or four-year honours degree with no third division at any stage, and the age ceiling is 32 years as of 1 April 2026.

In Iran, the Kermanshah provincial police command began recruiting male graduates with bachelor’s or master’s degrees for officer ranks, prioritising higher-ranked universities and setting a minimum height of 170 cm and a maximum age of 27. Meanwhile, India’s Central Board of Secondary Education instructed affiliated schools to submit the list of candidates for the Class 12 supplementary examinations by 8 July, a procedural step that determines eligibility for students placed in the compartment category. The next milestone for the Brazilian census drive is the release of admit cards on 21 September, while Nigeria’s FRSC portal goes live on 3 July and Bangladesh’s bank applications close at midnight on 2 July.
