PRESS STATEMENT
NDLEA Not Recruiting
The National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) has warned job seekers of the activities of internet scammers who are advertising non-existent job vacancies in the Agency. While disclaiming such internet vacancy advertisement, the Agency said emphatically that it was not recruiting. The Agency therefore called on members of the public not to purchase forms from fake vendors claiming to be working for the Agency.
According to Ahmadu Giade, Chairman/Chief Executive of the Agency, “NDLEA is not selling recruitment forms. Members of the public are hereby advised not to patronise fake vendors. All recruitment notices by the Agency are usually publicised in both print and electronic media. This clarification is important to prevent fraudsters from taking undue advantage of unsuspecting job seekers. There are no plans to recruit at present and we urge members of the public to report whoever is selling the fake recruitment forms for necessary legal action”.
It would be recalled that the Agency concluded its last recruitment exercise around July 2011 and looks forward to increasing its workforce as soon as approval is received from the relevant authorities. “Drug control is an enormous responsibility. The Agency conducted a recruitment exercise in 2011 and looks forward to another selection process as soon as approval is secured. We also call for public support in the fight against illicit drugs” Giade added.
