Recruitment: NIS alerts applicants on fraudulent invitation letters


The Nigerian Immigration Service (NIS) has warned the public, especially applicants, to be cautious of fraudulent invitation letters for recruitment into the service.


The warning was contained in a statement issued on Wednesday by Dr Adedotun Aridegbe, the Service Public Relations Officer (SPRO) Deputy Comptroller of Immigration (DCI).


Aridegbe disclosed that invitation letters for recruitment into the service could only be gotten from its official recruitment portal.


He, therefore, warned that all other forms of invites from any source sent directly to applicants are fake.


“The attention of the acting Comptroller General of NIS, Caroline Adepoju, has been drawn to the activities of some fraudsters, who are deceiving members of the public with fake invitation letters for recruitment into the NIS.


“The service hereby wishes to state that all invitations for recruitment into the NIS can only be downloaded from its official recruitment portal.


“All other forms of invites from any source and through any medium sent directly to applicants are fake,” part of the statement read.
