According to The Tribune, the corporation in a release on Sunday, February 21 by Ohi Alegbe, the group general manager public affairs division, warned that such invitations were from fraudsters.

Alegbe said the letters been sent to unsuspecting individuals inviting them for “the second process of recruitment” was a scam as the corporation was currently not currently recruiting.

He therefore, urged the public to ignore the invitation directing recipients to pay N21,500 into an account with Zenith Bank, saying “anyone who entertains such invitations or deals with peddlers of such invitations does so at his or her own risk”.

He urged persons who may have been contacted for employment to report to the relevant law enforcement agencies for appropriate action to be taken against the fraudsters.

This is not the first time a government agency will be alerting Nigerians to a recruitment scam being peddled by fraudsters.

Sometime in January, the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment warned Nigerians about a recruitment online scam calling for jobless youths to submit their curriculum vitae for job placements.

Likewise, the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) on Monday, February 15, dissociated itself from adverts on employment from the commission.

According to a statement signed by the head, media and publicity of the commission, Wilson Uwujaren, in Abuja, the scam was to mislead vulnerable Nigerians and tarnish the reputation of the commission.
