Agricultural quarantine service warns applicants against fake recruitment groups, payment demands

The Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service (NAQS) has issued a warning to job applicants participating in its recruitment exercise, urging them to avoid engaging with unofficial social media groups and individuals posing as representatives of the agency. The advisory emphasizes that the recruitment process is free and does not require any payment, as government agencies have repeatedly cautioned against falling victim to recruitment scams.

The agency has observed the creation of several unofficial groups and social media platforms falsely claiming to represent the Service or provide recruitment updates, and urges applicants to rely only on its official communication channels for information about the recruitment exercise.
