The Nigerian Maritime Administration and Security Agency (Nimasa), has denied reports of an ongoing recruitment exercise for the agency.
The Head of Corporate communications, NIMASA, Isichei Osamgbi, disclosed this in a statement on Monday.
He said the Agency had informed appropriate authorities of the activities of the unscrupulous elements who were going about peddling false information to defraud unsuspecting Nigerians.
He also appealled to members of the public, particularly job seekers, to treat any of such adverts as fake, as the Agency was currently not in the process of employing.
According to him, “The attention of the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) has been drawn to the misinformation making the round in media, particularly online platforms, that there is an ongoing recruitment exercise in the Agency.
“It is imperative to state, in the interest of the unsuspecting public, that the Agency has not launched a recruitment campaign of any kind at the moment; and that NIMASA is not associated with any of the adverts being peddled on various social media platforms to defraud unsuspecting citizens seeking legitimate employment in the organisation.
“This clarification is necessitated by the recruitment advert supposedly floated by the Agency and circulated on various social media platforms, with the intention of misleading and defrauding Nigerians.”
He, however, said at the appropriate time, NIMASA would advertise for available vacancies for qualified Nigerians to apply.
