” For the upteempth time, NCS wishes to state that these recruitment websites/platforms are fake and should not be patronized.

“Members of the public will recall that we denied several similar fake vacancies advertisement with a promise to properly inform the public whenever we are ready. 

” A promise we kept by advertising the vacancies in seven (7) National newspapers.

” NCS is again warning against patronage of any release of short-listed candidates with a promise of letting successfully short-listed candidates know through their email addresses and telephone numbers soon.

“Additionally, such official release will be news item in all NCS programmes on TV and Radio stations. (Note that the internet fraudsters don’t normally use the TV and Radio).

“Accordingly, all applicants are advised to disregard any invitation for recruitment examination/interview and wait patiently for the official release and invitation from the Service.
