NECO Warns Public Against Fake Recruitment Claims Circulating Online

The National Examinations Council (NECO) has issued an urgent warning to the public regarding fraudulent recruitment announcements being circulated online. The examination body has categorically stated that it is not currently recruiting new staff and has urged Nigerians to disregard any such publications.

Official Statement

In a statement signed by Azeez Sani, the Acting Director of Information and Public Relations, NECO made it clear that the circulating recruitment announcement is entirely false. The council described the publication as "the product of the imagination of fraudsters who are out to defraud unsuspecting members of the public."

How to Identify Legitimate NECO Announcements

The examination body emphasized that under the leadership of Registrar and Chief Executive, Prof. Dantani Ibrahim Wushishi, any genuine recruitment exercise would:

• Follow all proper procedures and relevant laws
• Require Federal Government approval
• Be announced through official NECO channels
• Not require any form of payment to individual agents

Protecting Yourself from Scams

Members of the public are advised to:

• Verify any recruitment news through NECO's official website
• Avoid paying money to anyone claiming to secure NECO jobs
• Report suspicious activities to relevant authorities
• Share this warning with family and friends who may be seeking employment

Job seekers should remain vigilant and always confirm employment opportunities through official institutional channels before proceeding with any application or payment.
