The federal government  has said the Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) is currently not recruiting, urging Nigerians to ignore social media adverts.

The Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board disclosed this in a statement by the Secretary to the Board, Ja’afaru Ahmed, yesterday.

It urged the public to disregard the recruitment advert which it said is the handiwork of unscrupulous elements who want to defraud innocent job applicants.

The statement read: “The attention of the Civil Defence, Correctional, Fire and Immigration Services Board has been drawn to the recruitment advert on social media platforms stating that the Board has approved the commencement of the Nigeria Immigration Service 2024 merit replacement exercise.

“The Board is urging the general public to disregard the recruitment advert which is the handiwork of unscrupulous elements that want to defraud innocent job applicants.

“The recruitment advert is fake and did not emanate from the Board,” the statement said in part.
