Recruitment Syndicate Using Our Name To Defraud Nigerians, JAMB Warns

The Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board (JAMB) has refuted reports that it is currently recruiting.

The JAMB Spokesperson, Fabian Benjamin, made the clarification in a statement on Thursday, advising the general public to disregard the information that they were recruiting as it is false.

The body stated that it is not currently recruiting in any of its offices and neither has it contracted any person or organization to do so on its behalf.

JAMB also warned that it will take strong legal action against anyone found culpable of such acts.

The statement read, “The attention of the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has been drawn to the unwholesome activities of an employment syndicate operating in Akure, Ondo State, which claims to have been contracted to recruit staff for the Board using a dedicated social media account.

“The syndicate, operating under “Akure Job and Business Advert Forum”, located at Quarters 92 Alagbaka Estate, Near CBN Office, IBB Avenue, Akure, Ondo State, is using the name of JAMB, Ondo State Office, to advertise job vacancies into secretarial and clerical positions in the Board.

“The Board is, by this disclaimer, advising all members of the public to disregard such information as it is currently not recruiting in any of its offices nor has it contracted anyone or organization to do so on its behalf. Anybody doing business with the above-mentioned platform or similar ones does so at his/her own risk. Furthermore, stiff legal actions will be taken against anyone found culpable of such nefarious acts.

“Members of the public are, therefore, advised to be wary of the shenanigans of mischief makers out to defraud hapless job seekers as all notifications by the Board are made only through its approved channels.”
