Federal Civil Service Commission disowns recruitment exercise, says it’s fake

The Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC) has dissociated itself from the ongoing recruitment exercise.

The commission informed members of the public to ignore a purported “recruitment 2023/2024” exercise which was making round on social media,

The commission said it is not originator of the recruitment exercise as it described it as entirely fake.

This was revealed in a signed press statement released by the permanent secretary, Dr. Mary Ogbe.

Ogbe said the embargo earlier placed on the recruitment into the federal civil service has not been lifted by the government.

“As a sequel to the advertised story on recruitment titled “FCSC Recruitment 2023/2024’’ currently trending on the social media, the Management of the Federal Civil Service Commission wishes to inform the general public that the purported recruitment 2023/2024 exercise is a typical example of falsehood in its entirety and did not emanate from the Commission.

“The writer of this fake story, using his www.recruitmentfile.net to peddle his antics of misinforming the general public, particularly desperate job seekers, listed several steps/requirements for recruitment into the civil service; which are to say the least, confusing, misleading and disjointed: amongst which are Bank Verification Number (BVN) and disqualifying those with Physical Disability.

“Premised on the foregoing, the Federal Civil Service Commission wishes to reaffirm its earlier Disclaimer statement that the suspension/embargo on recruitment into the Federal Civil Service is yet to be lifted by the Government. Secondly, the Commission has an established tradition of using the Television/Radio stations and Newspapers to announce such an instance of national exercise; not the social media.

“Furthermore, lastly, but not the least, Bank Verification Number (BVN) and discrimination against Nigerians with Physical Disability (PWDs) are never listed among formal requirements for recruitment into the Federal Civil Service.

”For clarification and emphasis, the general public is hereby informed that the advertised recruitment on social media is untrue and should therefore be ignored and disregarded, please,” it stated.
