ASHENEWS reports that the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) says it’s application portal is suffering from glitches, due to an increase in traffic.
Confirming this in a statement issued on Wednesday, the NDLEA said that over 200,000 applicants were trying to access the site within hours of its activation.
The statement signed by the agency’s Director, Media, and Advocacy, Femi Babafemi reads “Barely hours after the online portal was opened on Sunday 12th March, it began to experience glitches due to the heavy traffic of over 200,000 applicants trying to access the system,”
Babafemi said that the Agency upgraded the infrastructure on Tuesday 14th March to accommodate the large volume of applicants after over 53, 170 applicants had successfully logged into the portal.
“At the moment, the system is synchronizing the data at the back-end of the infrastructure in order to adjust to the server upgrade. The Agency’s management, therefore, wishes to apologize to the applicants for the hitches being experienced and urge them to exercise while the system completed synchronization to serve them better,”
Recall that an announcement issued last week by the NDLEA states that the online application will be open for a period of four weeks from Sunday 12th March to Saturday 8th April 2023.
