Dr Christy Atako, the commissions Director of Education, Health and Social Services, told newsmen in Port Harcourt on Thursday that the 3,100 were short listed out of the 6,000 candidates that applied.
Atako said the candidates had already written an electronic examination and that qualified candidates would be announced soon.
She said the candidates were mainly drawn from the region and consisted of Masters and Doctorate degrees’ holders who were also drilled in general sciences.
Atako explained that the choice of an electronic examination was to ensure transparency in selecting the right candidates.
She said the commission was committed to ensuring that competent engineers were recruited to manage and provide quality services in project execution.
“We need qualified engineers that can manage our projects just as in agriculture, environmental science and other science related courses.
“We believe that our children should have some exposure outside the country to enable them to learn from people of other nations in both lifestyle and academics”, Atako said.
Meanwhile, Mr Asawo Ibituro, a consultant, said the electronic examination was the most transparent way to reduce examination malpractice.
According to him, “there is no room for anybody to change your grade because your picture and details are in the system and after sitting, your score is reflected immediately”.
