The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has issued a warning to the public to be cautious of fake recruitment advertisements on social media.
According to NIS Spokesman, Akinsola Akinlabi, the organization is not currently conducting any recruitment exercises.
Akinlabi emphasized that all recruitment exercises conducted by the NIS are transparent, free, and merit-based.
Vacancies are advertised through the NIS website, official government channels, and recognized national newspapers.
The attention of the Comptroller General of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Kemi Nandap, has been drawn to the increasing number of fake recruitment activities perpetrated by fraudsters.
The NIS has assured the public that efforts are being made to ensure that those responsible for these fraudulent activities face the law.
“The NIS wishes to state that no recruitment exercise is currently ongoing. We are working closely with relevant authorities to apprehend those involved in these fraudulent activities and bring them to justice. The Service remains committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity in all its operations”.
Consequently, the CG urges the general public to remain vigilant and refrain from patronizing fraudulent recruitment schemes.
“Anyone who receives unsolicited messages or is approached by individuals claiming to represent the NIS on recruitment matters should report to the Nigeria Immigration Service through the following official channels.”
