Be careful of fake job offers: A warning from the Nigerian Immigration Service
The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has given a public alert. They are warning people, especially those who have applied for jobs or are thinking about it, to be careful about fake job offer letters for positions within the service.
The Service’s spokesperson, Deputy Comptroller of Immigration (DCI) Dr. Adedotun Aridegbe, spoke about this concern in a statement released from Abuja on Wednesday.
Important Points:
- Official Website: The only correct website to get job offer letters for NIS jobs is the NIS Official Recruitment Portal. To access these letters, applicants should log in with their registration details and phone numbers.
- Watch Out for Fake Sources: Dr. Aridegbe stressed that any job offer letter that doesn’t come from the official portal might be fake and should be doubted.
- Quote: Dr. Adedotun Aridegbe said that the acting Comptroller General of NIS, Caroline Adepoju, is aware of scammers sending fake job offer letters to deceive people about recruitment into NIS.
Key Points from the Statement:
- Fake Job Alerts: The NIS has noticed that scammers are tricking the public with fake job offers.
- Only Official Source: Legitimate job offer letters are available only on the NIS’s official recruitment portal.
- Ignore Unsolicited Offers: People should not pay attention to job invitations that don’t come from the official site because they are fake and made to deceive.
