<\/p>\nThe Comptroller-General of the Service, Mr Muhammad Babandede, said this in a parley with newsmen in Abuja on Thursday, NAN reports.<\/p>\n
The C-G, who noted that the issue of fake recruitment sites had been on the increase in recent times, warned that the service was not recruiting yet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI wish to state that the service is not recruiting and has not engaged any agent or vendor to do so on its behalf.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe public is to note that the said website www.nisrecruitment.com.ng and the application process is fake and entirely the handiwork of fraudsters.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe public is to disregard the said exercise and to also be wary of such fraudulent adverts,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Babandede added that the service was collaborating with the police and ICPC to prosecute fraudsters.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we will recruit, websites will be clearly stated, we will advertise.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are following due process. We assure Nigerians we are not doing underground recruitment, there is no replacement.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhenever we will recruit, we will make it transparent that everybody will participate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
