Ekiti Government Rejects Fake Online Recruitment Portal
Ekiti State Government has dissociated itself from a fake recruitment online portal operated by fraudsters to defraud job applicants.
Commissioner for Information in Ekiti Taiwo Olatunbosun said while it is true that Governor Biodun Oyebanji recently approved the recruitment of 1,800 teaching and non-teaching staff into public schools across the State, the State Teaching Service Commission is yet to conclude administrative procedure to advertise the vacancies and has therefore not open any portal for the recruitment exercise
Olatubosun said a recruitment portal opened with the name and logo of the Ekiti State government was handiwork of dubious characters to defrauding unsuspecting members of the public.
The Commissioner noted that the government has its approved media channels for such information and would continue to use the same for all public communication.
He urged members of the public, particularly intending applicants to disregard any information or website currently in circulation that does not emanate from TESCOM to avoid becoming victims of fraudsters.
Olatunbosun assured that the State Government would continue to be on guard on issues concerning the welfare of citizens, stressing that the focus is to rapidly develop the state and improve the general wellbeing of residents.
