The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a public warning about a fraudulent job advertisement circulating online, falsely claiming that the ministry is offering employment opportunities in Nigeria’s diplomatic missions abroad
In a statement on Wednesday, the ministry clarified that it does not directly recruit workers.
According to its spokesperson, Kimiebi Imomotimi Ebienfa, recruitment into the ministry is solely the responsibility of the Federal Civil Service Commission.
“We want to put it on record that the Ministry does not recruit officers directly—recruitment of Foreign Service officers is carried out by the Federal Civil Service Commission,” Ebienfa stated.
He noted that the ministry decided to respond following a flood of inquiries prompted by fake job advertisements allegedly signed by the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs. Within the last 24 hours, scammers have escalated their scheme by sending fake employment letters to unsuspecting Nigerians.
“They are sending out emails with my name as the signatory. This is not just about fake news. It is about protecting Nigerians from losing their hard-earned money and protecting the name of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs”, he added.
