Contrary
to reports making rounds that the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) is
conducting a fresh recruitment and replacement exercises, and has dispatched
recruitment forms to the state level for interested candidates to apply, the
Corps Marshal, Boboye Oyeyemi, has called on Nigerians to disregard the
information that the Corps is recruiting or doing a replacement, and warned
that Nigerians should be wary of the activities of fraudsters who are parading
themselves as agents to extort money from innocent job seekers.
In
a statement released by the FRSC Head Media Relations and Strategy, Bisi
Kazeem, he maintained that the activities of the fraudsters is been
investigated by relevant authorities, and that the Corps Marshal is concerned
about this worrisome development, hence, using this medium to clarify that FRSC
is not conducting any form of recruitment or replacement exercise and will make
it public knowledge whenever such recruitment exercise is approved by the
Government.
In
the words of the Corps Marshal; “no Government agency recruits without due
approval and it is equally a standard practice for recruitment exercises to be
advertised on radio, television, and through the print media”. He added that
proper screening exercise is part of the procedure that cannot be bypassed
during such exercises, whether recruitment or replacement.
He
further stressed that when the Corps is recruiting, information on such is
readily made available through the following official platforms www.frsc.gov.ng,
www.fb.com/
He
assured Nigerians that the FRSC, in collaboration with security agencies, is on
the trail of these criminal elements who are out to swindle Nigerians under the
guise that the Corps is recruiting.
