The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has again cautioned Nigerians against a purported portal for the recruitment of ad hoc staff in respect of the 2023 general election.
Newsbreak.ng reports that INEC said this in a terse message on Tuesday by the Chief Press Secretary (CPS) to Professor Mahmood Yakubu, the INEC Chairman, Rotimi Oyekanmi.
Oyekanmi said that the portal was fake as the commission was no longer recruiting for the election as its official website for recruitment had been shut down.
“The website/blog below is advertising ad hoc staff positions for the 2023 general election.
“However, the commission is no longer recruiting ad hoc staff for the 2023 general election.
“The INEC ad hoc staff recruitment portal was officially shut down on December 14, 2022.
“Therefore, the site, with the URL – http://www.yournewclaims.com/Inec-Recriutment/ is fake. It is intended to defraud unsuspecting members of the public. Nigerians should disregard it,” the INEC official said.
This news medium recalls that a similar fake ad hoc recruitment link, inecnigeria.govservice.site, circulated online around October 2022.
