The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has dismissed claims of an ongoing recruitment exercise.
The disclosure was made on Tuesday after the Agency became aware of a fake press release on social media which falsely claimed that NAFDAC had announced a recruitment exercise.
NAFDAC stated that “the purported press release did not originate from the Agency and is entirely false.” The Agency explained that while NAFDAC periodically conducts recruitment exercises to engage qualified Nigerians, “no such announcement has been made at this time.”
The Agency cautioned the public against engaging with or relying on fraudulent recruitment information, saying such messages are circulated “with the intent of misleading and extorting applicants.”
“For the avoidance of doubt, NAFDAC has not issued any press release or notice announcing a new recruitment exercise,” the Agency said.
It added that all authentic information from the Agency is communicated exclusively through the official NAFDAC website and recognised, verified communication channels.
NAFDAC urged the public to remain vigilant, disregard announcements, and verify information from official NAFDAC platforms.
