The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has warned the public, especially applicants, to be wary of fraudulent invitation letters for recruitment.
The warning is contained in a statement issued Wednesday by NIS spokesman Adedotun Aridegbe.
The statement said invitation letters for recruitment into the service could only be downloaded from the official recruitment portal of the service.
“The attention of the acting comptroller general of NIS, Caroline Adepoju, has been drawn to the activities of some fraudsters, who are deceiving members of the public with fake invitation letters for recruitment into the NIS,” said the statement.
The statement stressed that “all invitations for recruitment into the NIS can only be downloaded from its official recruitment portal, https://cdcfib.career, by the applicants, who must log in with their registration and phone numbers to access the invitation letters.”
It explained that all other invites from “any source and through any medium sent directly to applicants are fake.”
“Consequently, the acting comptroller general wishes to use this medium to advise members of the public to ignore such fake invitations, as such offers are not true and are intended to defraud unsuspecting members of the public,” NIS stated.
It said any request for information or enquiry about NIS’ activities “can be accessed through the following platforms: Twitter – @nigimmigration, Instagram -@ingimmigration, SERVICOM.”
