The National Population Census, NPC, has asked Nigerians to disregard messages regarding recruitment for the 2023 population census exercise.
This was conveyed through a post via their Official Facebook page on Tuesday.
According to the commission there is no recruitment exercise currently going on at the moment.
“Our attention has been drawn to a fake email message being sent to some persons that their application for the position of Census Ad-hoc Staff has been accepted.
“The Commission wishes to inform the public that it is not undergoing any recruitment exercise for the Census at the moment. Kindly note that NPC has concluded recruitment of the functionaries for the 2023 Census before the exercise was postponed.
“Should there be a need for the list of selected candidates to be updated in the future before the Census exercise, it will be announced on the national media and the NPC social media platforms and website.
“Therefore implore Nigerians to disregard the fake email message and avoid falling victim to swindlers.”
