Osun Alerts Job Seekers On Activities Of Scammers
Osun state Government on Wednesday warned job seekers to beware of scammers whose stock in trade is to swindle unsuspecting members of the public of their hard earned money, saying the state government is not recruiting into the state civil service as at present.
The government in a statement by the Supervisor, Ministry of Information and Strategy, Mr Adelani Baderinwa stated that the state government is aware that a sum of N2, 000 is being paid by unsuspecting members of the public to a certain account for the purpose of getting a recruitment form.
“As at today, there is no recruitment in the state of Osun; and members of the public are advised not to pay any amount to anybody on the guise of paying Osun civil service recruitment form.
“It is unwise and unexpected of a government that is struggling to pay full salary to its existing workers to engage in an unproductive recruitment exercise.
“Instead of recruiting new workers, the government would continue to concentrate on the capacity building programmes by training and retraining of the active workers to make them efficient in their various areas.
“This will add value to both the workers and the government and would no doubt give us the required productive civil service needed to drive the development of the state.
“We urge members of the public to disregard the rumoured recruitment exercise, so that they will not fall victim of scam.’’
The Government urged the security agencies in the state to also investigate, arrest and prosecute all the job racketeers
