Following an online recruitment site offering job placements in the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), the agency has dissociated itself from the scam, calling on the unsuspecting members of public to beware.
Addressing newsmen yesterday in Abuja, the chairman of the agency’s governing council, Mr John Ibu maintained that the agency was neither recruiting nor mandated anybody or organisation to do so on its behalf.
The site topix.net advertised recruitment forms into the agency along with a link and phone number for calls.
He said that the site was manned by “conmen posing as consultants or recruitment agencies for NAFDAC.”
The agency is the second government service after Civil Defence Corps and Immigrations to admit to employment scams being done in its name.
Meanwhile, a call placed to the site was answered by one Paul, who claimed to be based in Lagos and said the service charged N5,500 per form for BSc job seekers.
He said the form would be sent to a private email address to be filled and returned.
“We have very few forms left, so pay quickly,” he said. He gave a First Bank account number named OKHIRIA EDEGHONGHON JOSEPH for the first half payment.
