FCSC debunks recruitment advertisement

The Management of the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) has said that the Commission is not recruiting for now and warned Nigerians against activities of the fake recruitment syndicate that specialises in defrauding unsuspecting victims of their hard-earned resources.

The Commission particularly informed Nigerians that the purported advertised story on recruitment titled ‘’ FCSC Recruitment 2023/2024’’ currently trending on the social media is fake and should disregarded.

This was contained in a statement signed by the Permanent Secretary, Dr. Mary Ogbe, and made available to newsmen on Friday in Abuja,

Ogbe said: “Management of the Federal Civil Service Commission wishes to inform the general public that the purported recruitment 2023/2024 exercise is a typical example of falsehood in its entirety and did not emanate from the  Commission.

“The writer of this fake story, using his www.recruitmentfile.net to peddle his antics of misinforming the general public, particularly desperate job seekers, listed several steps/requirements for recruitment into the civil service, which are, to say the least, confusing, misleading and disjointed: amongst which are Bank Verification Number (BVN) and disqualifying those with Physical Disability.

“Premised on the foregoing, the Federal Civil Service Commission wishes to reaffirm its earlier Disclaimer statement that the Government has yet to lift the suspension/embargo on recruitment into the Federal Civil Service.

“Secondly, the Commission has an established tradition of using the Television/Radio stations and Newspapers to announce such an instance of national exercise; not the social media.

Furthermore,  Bank Verification Number (BVN) and discrimination against Nigerians with Physical Disability (PWDs) are never listed among the formal requirements for recruitment into the Federal Civil Service.

“For clarification and emphasis, the general public is hereby informed that the advertised recruitment on social media is untrue and should therefore be ignored and disregarded,” she stated.
