Federal Civil Service Commission Disowns Online Recruitment, Says Its Fake

By Akinwale Kasali

The Federal Civil Service Commission, FCSC, has warned Nigerians to be wary of syndicates and racketeers who are spreading fake information about an Online Recruitment Exercise by the FCSC.

The FCSC disassociated itself from online job recruitment platforms which gave the impression that the Commission is currently recruiting into Ministries, Departments, and Agencies, MDAs.

FCSC Head of Press, Taiwo Hassan, in a Statement urged the public to disregard the fake news, saying it is being peddled by syndicates and racketeers.

Hassan stressed that the Commission is warning Nigerians to be wary of the activities of fake recruitment syndicates and racketeers.

The statement reads in part, “The attention of the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) has been drawn to various social media and online job recruitment platforms, indicating that the commission is recruiting into Ministries, Departments, and Agencies (MDAs).

“We emphatically declare that the commission is not recruiting for now, and those online publications are fictitious and should be disregarded. The purported recruitment publicised online and on any other platforms did not emanate from the commission.

“The commission warns members of the public to be wary of the activities of fake recruitment syndicates and racketeers.

“For the avoidance of doubt, there is no fresh appointment going on currently in the commission”.

The statement stated that whenever the commission officially commences any recruitment exercise, it will be publicly announced on the commission’s website.
