FIRS to job seekers: Beware of scammers, we’re not recruiting

The Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) has urged Nigerians to be vigilant and avoid dealing with scammers who pose as recruitment agents for the agency.

This was contained in a statement issued on Monday by Mr Johannes Wojuola, the Special Assistant on Media and Communication to the FIRS Executive Chairman, Muhammad Nami.

The statement partly read: “The Service wishes to emphatically state that it is not conducting any recruitment at the moment, and importantly that it does not conduct recruitment exercises through back door channels.

“Should FIRS at any instance have need to expand its workforce and consequently seek to recruit competent hands to carry out the task of revenue mobilisation for the nation, the public can be rest assured that the Service would follow appropriate channels and processes in doing so.

“This includes advertisements on public channels of communication, followed by rigorous screening, interviews, and examination exercises.

“The FIRS also wishes to caution media practitioners not to allow their mediums to be used as platforms for publishing unauthorised fake application processes and recruitment portals that hoodwink the unsuspecting public.”

FIRS added that it would take all necessary legal actions against any platform found to be engaged in any fraudulent advertisement.
