The Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), has disowned the message being circulated members of the public over a purported ongoing recruitment exercise by the commission.
NERC in a statement to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Monday said the perpetrators of the recruitment scam demanded employment processing fees from unsuspecting members of the public.
“ The commission is not recruiting either directly or through any proxy for any position.
“According to the notice, the commission shall comply with due process for conducting recruitment into the public service when a decision is made to commence recruitment.’’
It advised the public to be vigilant and avoid falling prey to unscrupulous and fraudulent persons that intend to defraud unsuspecting applicants.
“It urged members of the public to visit the commission’s website (www.nerc.gov.ng) for accurate and reliable information on its activities.”
