The Nigeria Immigration Service (NIS) has warned Nigerians against fake and invalid employment letters in circulation purportedly issued by the service.
The NIS made this known in a statement by its spokesperson, Kenneth Udo, on Thursday, June 20, 2024.
Udo warned job seekers to exercise caution so as not to fall victim to the fraudsters, stressing that the fake employment letters in circulation were not issued by the NIS.
According to him, the fraudulent letters falsely claim that the recipients have been offered employment with the NIS.
He stated: “The Nigeria Immigration Service categorically denies any involvement in this fraudulent scheme and refutes the misinformation being spread on social media platforms regarding an ongoing recruitment/replacement exercise.

“The NIS shall continue to ensure that any unscrupulous elements engaging in this criminality will be made to face the wrath of the law.
“The public is hereby advised to report these scammers to the nearest NIS office or law enforcement agencies.
“The Nigeria Immigration Service recruitment exercise is exclusively advertised through reputable national dailies, television broadcasts, and our official website, http://www.immigration.gov.ng.”
Udo added that the NIS was resolutely committed to safeguarding the interest of Nigerians and upholding the integrity of its recruitment processes.
