The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has dismissed rumors circulating online about an ongoing recruitment exercise, cautioning the public to ignore such claims as they are entirely false.
In a statement released on Friday by the Assistant Corps Marshal and Corps Public Education Officer, Olusegun Ogungbemide, the FRSC clarified that no recruitment exercise is underway and urged Nigerians to steer clear of fraudulent individuals and platforms spreading the misinformation.
“The attention of the Federal Road Safety Corps has been drawn to a publication by online platforms misinforming the public about ongoing recruitment of personnel into the services of the Corps. This medium is to let the public know that the Corps is not recruiting at the moment, neither is there any ongoing arrangement to that effect,” the statement read.
The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, further reiterated that all FRSC recruitment exercises are carried out with utmost transparency. He emphasized that announcements regarding vacancies are made only through official channels, including the FRSC’s website, verified social media accounts, and the National Traffic Radio 107.1FM.
Mohammed also warned prospective applicants to avoid engaging with unverified sources or individuals advertising fake recruitment opportunities, noting that such schemes are often used to defraud unsuspecting Nigerians.
The FRSC highlighted that it would not bear responsibility for losses incurred by anyone falling victim to fraudulent recruitment schemes. It urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
“The Corps Marshal, Shehu Mohammed, wishes to admonish applicants seeking to join the services of the Corps, as well as the general public, to disregard the fake and misleading publications. Recruitment processes in the Corps have always been transparent, credible, and publicly announced through adequate channels,” Ogungbemide stated.
The FRSC concluded its statement by urging the public to rely only on official platforms for credible updates and warned against further engagement with purported scammers.
