Verification notes
Verified on WHO's official careers portal. Vacancy 2603442 is a P-5, two-year fixed-term Senior Operations Officer role in Abuja, posted in August 2026 and still open when checked. WHO explicitly states that the displayed closing timestamp reflects the viewer's device settings; different official renderings crossed a calendar-date boundary, so no normalized deadline was stored rather than inventing a timezone/date.
