The Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration Service, Isah Jere Idris, has warned that the organization is currently not conducting any recruitment exercise and therefore warned members of the public to ignore any publication in this regard to avoid falling into the antics of job scammers.
The Public Relations Officer of the NIS, Deputy Comptroller of Immigration, Amos Okpu, said in a statement on Monday that the attention of the organization had been drawn to some reports announcing a recruitment exercise into the Service.
According to Okpu, in some of the reports, unsuspecting job seekers were required to visit a certain portal to apply and later be directed to a link where they would be expected to make some payments.
In his words, “These reports including the portal are not only false but are also calculated ploys to deceive and defraud unsuspecting job seekers into parting away with their hard-earned resources.”
Okpu noted that “The Service is currently not conducting any recruitment exercise and therefore members of the public are by this notice, enjoined to ignore such publications to avoid falling into the antics of job scammers.
“The Comptroller General hereby restates that the Service has always used all the conventional as well as its verified social media platforms including the website to announce any recruitment exercise and that in such exercises, members of the public are never required to make any payments whatsoever.”
The NIS spokesman therefore called on the public to completely ignore such spurious publications of recruitment exercise into the Service to avoid being defrauded by unscrupulous and deceitful elements of the public.
He assured that deliberate efforts were being made to get at those behind such fraudulent recruitment activities with a view to bringing them before the law.
