The Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) issues a public warning against recruitment scams circulating online, urging Nigerians not to trust unauthorised messages, links, or agents. The Commission says fake recruitment content is being shared on social media and other internet platforms.
In its statement, the FCSC advises prospective applicants to verify recruitment information before acting, including checking that any recruitment process is authorised. The Punch and Vanguard both report the warning as part of the Commission’s effort to protect job seekers from fraud.
The outlets focus on the same core issue: misleading recruitment advertisements and links that could be used to collect personal details or money. While both attribute the alert to the FCSC, Vanguard specifies that the warning is delivered through a press statement signed by the Commission’s Head of Press and Public Relations, Ibraheem Zakariyya. The Punch emphasizes the broader guidance for identifying genuine recruitment and avoiding suspicious channels.
