Abuja – 25 August, 2025 – There is ongoing spread of misinformation on social media, including Facebook, claiming that the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) recruitment portal is open. Some have even mislead the public with claims that insider sources say the FRSC will be recruiting soon, and that interested applicants should prepare their CVs.
The FRSC has come out to issue a strong warning to Nigerians over the circulation of false recruitment information on social media platforms.
The statement was signed by Olusegun Ogungbemide mni FISPON anipr, Assistant Corps Marshal and Corps Public Education Officer.
The Corps released a disclaimer addressing these misleading claims. According to the statement, “The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has observed with grave concern the increasing activities of fraudulent individuals, including some posing as staff of the Corps, who extort unsuspecting members of the public with false promises of securing them employment in the Corps. These scammers go as far as issuing fake call-up letters to training schools and the FRSC Academy in a desperate attempt to deceive innocent job seekers and defraud them of their hard earned money.”
The Corps emphasized that its recruitment process is transparent and strictly follows due process.
The statement further noted, “Consequent upon the foregoing, the Corps wishes to categorically state that FRSC recruitment processes are transparent, merit based, and strictly communicated through national newspapers, television stations, and our official channels. At no time did the Corps mandate its Personnel, or representatives to demand money or any form of gratification from applicants in exchange for employment.”
Nigerians have been advised to disregard such fake offers and immediately report suspected fraudsters to the nearest FRSC Command, law enforcement agencies, or through the Corps’ official communication platforms.
The Corps also reiterated its position on fairness and accountability, stating, “To this end, the Corps wishes to reiterate its resolve to upholding integrity, fairness, and transparency in all recruitment exercises.”
Interested applicants are hereby urged to remain vigilant, verify all information from official FRSC sources, as well as frsc.gov.ng and resist the temptation of patronising fraudsters whose sole intent is to exploit their desperation.
