BY CHINYERE OBIORA – The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) has warned Nigerians to beware of fraudsters as there is no ongoing recruitment process within the examination body as touted in certain quarters.
Distancing itself from an advertisement on social media calling for qualified candidates that will fill so-called vacant positions in the body, the Council’s Head of Public Affairs Unit, Mrs Moyosola Adesina said in a statement released on Saturday in Lagos that such publication is ‘misleading and fake’.
The statement described the said advertisement as the “handiwork of fraudsters”, and further stated thus; “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 a hoax aimed at exploiting innocent Nigerians, especially desperate job seekers.”
According to the Council’s spokeswoman; “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”.
