The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has warned members of the public to disregard a social media advert calling for applicants to occupy some positions in the establishment.
The examination council has distanced itself from the social media advert.
The council made this revelation in a statement released, Saturday in Lagos by the Head of Public Affairs Unit of the council, Mrs Moyosola Adesina.
She said the social media advertisement was fake and misleading.
She described the social media advert as initiative of the fraudsters.
“The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) wishes to inform its stakeholders and the general public that the advert making the rounds on social media that the council is recruiting for the year 2022/2023 is false.
“The general public should disregard this advertisement as it is hoax aimed at exploiting innocent Nigerians, especially desperate job seekers.
“For the purpose of clarity, WAEC will never ask anyone to pay any amount to secure a job on any of its platforms.
“Furthermore, the council publishes its recruitment advertisements only on national dailies and its official website,” Adesina said.
