The National Bureau of Statistics on Wednesday distanced itself from a publication for job recruitment making the rounds on social media in the Bureau.
The agency said the publication did not emanate from the Bureau and urged the general public, particularly job seekers not to be misled by the false publication.
The Bureau urged members of the public to report the promoters of the publication to law enforcement agencies for proper investigation, stating that it is not recruiting.
The statement titled Notice of Disclaimer on National Bureau of Statistics’ job recruitment reads:
“The attention of the Management of National Bureau of Statistics has been drawn to an online publication titled “NBS Recruitment 2023/2024 Job Application Form Portal” and hosted on https://recruitmentfile.net/nbs-recruitment/, purporting that the Bureau will soon commence recruitment exercise, and advising prospective candidates on the process for the recruitment.
The general public may wish to note that the publication did not emanate from the Bureau and that the content seeks to mislead unsuspecting job seekers. It has therefore become imperative to refute the information.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Bureau would like to emphasize unequivocally that it is not currently recruiting.
The general public is strongly advised to be wary of any such job offer, particularly one obtained online, and to report such offers to the appropriate law enforcement organizations without delay.
