Beware of Fraudsters, We’re not Recruiting, Says JAMB

Kuni Tyessi in Abuja

The Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has alerted the public of a fake employment syndicate operating in Akure, Ondo State, which claimed to have been contracted to recruit staff for the JAMB via a dedicated social media account.

The Acting Director, Public Affairs of JAMB, Dr. Fabian Benjamin, made this known yesterday in a press statement that urged the public to disregard such fake information.

Benjamin said that the syndicate is operating under “Akure Job and Business Advert Forum,” that is located at Quarters 92 Alagbaka Estate, Near CBN Office, IBB Avenue, Akure, Ondo State, and is using the name of JAMB, Ondo State Office, to advertise job vacancies into secretarial and clerical positions.

He said: “The JAMB, is by this disclaimer, advising all members of the public to disregard such information as it is currently not recruiting in any of its offices, nor has it contracted anyone or organisation to do so on its behalf.

“Anybody doing business with the above-mentioned platform or similar ones, does so at his/her own risk.

“Furthermore, stiff legal actions will be taken against anyone found culpable of such nefarious acts, he said.

“Members of the public are, therefore, advised to be wary of the shenanigans of mischief makers out to defraud hapless job seekers as all notifications by the JAMB are made only through its approved channels.”
