The Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration Service, Kemi Nandap, has alerted Nigerians to fake recruitment activities into the service by fraudsters, warning that the NIS is not currently recruiting.
This is contained in a statement by the spokesman of the Service, DCI Kenneth Udo, on Wednesday in Abuja.
“The attention of the Comptroller General of Nigeria Immigration Service Kemi Nandap, pcc, mmis, fsmn, has been drawn to the alarming increase in fake recruitment activities being perpetrated by fraudsters.
“The NIS is working closely with relevant authorities to apprehend those involved in these fraudulent activities and bring them to justice,” the statement said in part.
Consequently, the Comptroller General urged the general public to remain vigilant and refrain from using fraudulent recruitment schemes.
“Anyone who receives unsolicited messages or is approached by individuals claiming to represent the NIS on recruitment matters should report to the Nigeria Immigration Service through the Contact Center number: 09121900655, 09121556359, 09121477092,” it said.
While noting that the Service was committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in all its operations, the Comptroller General said all recruitment exercises are conducted in a transparent, free and merit-based manner.
She insisted that vacancies are advertised through the NIS website, official government channels and recognised national newspapers.
