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.
