The Nigeria Immigration Service NIS has decried the growing wave of fake recruitment activities by fraudsters, saying it is working with relevant authorities to apprehend those behind the criminal enterprise.
Service Public Relations Officer DCI Kenneth Udo disclosed this in a statement issued Wednesday in Abuja.
He said the Service under the Comptroller General of Immigration, Kemi Nandap, remains committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in all its operations.
“The Nigeria Immigration Service maintains that all recruitment exercises are conducted in a transparent, free and merit-based manner. Vacancies are advertised through the NIS website, official government channels and recognized national newspapers.
“The NIS is working closely with relevant authorities to apprehend those involved in these fraudulent activities and bring them to justice.
“Consequently, the Comptroller General urges the general public to remain vigilant and refrain from using 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”. (Vanguard)
