February 23, (THEWILL) – The Nigeria Correctional Service (NCoS) says it is not recruiting and cautioned potential job seeker against falling into the hands of scammers.
The NCoS Public Relations Officer, Francis Enobore who made this known in a statement, said the clarification became necessary following desperate efforts by alleged fraudsters to scam unsuspecting job seekers or their sponsors.
Enobore said “some unscrupulous elements had opened a recruitment portal codenamed NCoS 2023 Recruitment Exercise” and charging fees purportedly to access the portal.
He said, the “NCoS wishes to categorically state that there is no recruitment exercise currently ongoing and there is no official portal opened to that effect.
“Applicants are, therefore, advised to beware of fraudsters out to fleece unsuspecting members of the public of their hard earned money.
“It is important to note that recruitment into the service, when vacancy exists and approval is secured from the appropriate quarters is usually opened to the public for qualified candidates to indicate their interest online.
“The exercise is always free and does not involve any financial inducement or access fees.”
