The Federal Capital Territory Civil Service Commission (FCT-CSC) has dismissed an online advertisement claiming that 3,000 job vacancies are available in the commission.

The management of the FCT-CSC described the publication, which has been circulating across social media platforms, as fake news aimed at deceiving and extorting unsuspecting job seekers.

In a statement, the commission said:

“The attention of the Federal Capital Territory Civil Service Commission, FCT-CSC, has been drawn to an online publication/advertisement requesting prospective job applicants to apply for a non-existent 3,000 job vacancies.
We wish to state emphatically that the publication is FAKE NEWS. It is the handiwork of fraudsters who intend to defraud unsuspecting members of the public, especially job seekers.”

The commission urged the public to disregard the false information, stressing that no such recruitment exercise is ongoing.

For clarity and verification, the FCT-CSC advised members of the public to visit its headquarters at the APDC Building, behind the Abuja Geographical Information System (AGIS) complex in the Central Business District, Abuja.

The commission further warned job seekers to be cautious of fraudulent individuals and websites that spread misleading job adverts to exploit desperate applicants.
