The Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) has warned that it is currently not conducting any recruitment exercise and warned Nigeria not to fall for the gimmicks of scammers.
This was disclosed in a statement on Wednesday signed by Francis Enobore
Controller of Corrections Public Relations Officer.
The full statement reads, “It has come to the notice of the management of the Nigerian Correctional Service (NCoS) that some unscrupulous elements have opened a ‘recruitment’ portal codenamed ‘NCoS 2023 Recruitment Exercise’ and charging fees purportedly to access the ‘recruitment’ portal.
“The Service 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 exist and approval is secured from the appropriate quarter, 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.
“Whoever transacts any business with the operators of the said portal or any unauthorised individual(s) or group(s) for the purpose of securing appointment into the NCoS does so at his or her own risk.”
