Agricultural quarantine service warns applicants against fake recruitment groups, payment demands

The Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS) has issued a warning to job applicants about fraudulent recruitment practices. The agency emphasized that its recruitment process is entirely free and does not involve any payment requirements. It specifically cautioned applicants against engaging with unofficial social media groups that claim to represent NAQS or offer recruitment updates. These groups often demand money under false pretenses of providing employment opportunities. The advisory was issued by the Director of Human Resources, ACG Issaka Ahmed, and reiterated that all official communications should come through designated channels. The warning follows broader concerns about recruitment scams in Nigeria, where scammers create fake groups on platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Facebook to exploit desperate job seekers. The NAQS also pledged to investigate and prosecute anyone found impersonating the agency or attempting to defraud applicants.
