The Nigeria Immigration Service has issued a stern warning to the general public against the alarming increase in fake recruitment activities being perpetrated by fraudsters.
The Comptroller General, Kemi Nandap, said this in a statement by the Service Public Relations Officer, Kenneth Udo, on Wednesday.
Nandap said that unscrupulous individuals had been deceiving unsuspecting members of the public with false promises of employment opportunities within the service.
She said: “The attention of the NIS has been drawn to the alarming increase in fake recruitment activities being perpetrated by fraudsters.
“The NIS maintains that all recruitment exercises are conducted in a transparent, free and merit-based manner.
