FRSC says it is not recruiting, warns job seekers

NAN-H-127 FRSC Abuja, Jan. 10, 2013 (NAN) The Federal Road Safety Commission (FRSC), on Thursday called on prospective job seekers to discountenance a purported advert for recruitment into the commission. This is contained in a statement signed by Mr Jonas Agwu, FRSC's Public Enlightenment Officer in Abuja. It said that some fraudsters had created a fake recruitment portal in the name of the commission to extort money from desperate job seekers. ``These scammers have placed an FRSC recruitment exercise advert for 2012/2013 on the internet with a directive for prospective candidates to purchase forms online through a non-existing First Bank account for N10,000.’’ It added that the scammers issued ``an enquiry line 08050907157 of one Dr Gbenga, purporting same to have been authorised by the FRSC management.’’ ``The management of FRSC wishes to dissociate itself from this criminal act and advises the general public, especially job seekers to disregard such unauthorised and mischievous publications,’’ it said. The statement added that the commission had no immediate arrangement to embark on any recruitment.
