The statement partly read, “We are impressed by this response, which shows that people are truly keen and excited to work with us.
“However, we are compelled to close the portal ahead of the earlier deadline because of the number of the applications already received.
“We received no less than 8,373 applications within the first 48 hours of opening the portal. That was impressive!
“We have therefore shut the portal to allow for thorough and professional screening of the applications already submitted.”
