The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) says it has no affiliation whatsoever to a fake recruitment portal asking Nigerians to apply for jobs in the bank.
The apex bank said this in a Thursday statement issued by Acting Director, Corporate Communications, Dr. Isa AbdulMumin.
in the statement, the CBN said its attention “has been drawn to a fake recruitment portal inviting /eligible’ members of the public to submit applications in an exercise that will commence soon”.
According to the bank, the fraudulent website lists eligibility requirements to include, among other qualifications, the possession of a Bank Verification Number (BVN) and goes on to state that those with physical disabilities should not apply.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the CBN is currently not carrying out any general recruitment exercise and will never request for the BVN of intending applicants nor discriminate against persons with physical disabilities.
“Accordingly, members of the public are hereby warned to be wary of fraudulent recruitment agents bent on taking advantage of the employment challenge to defraud eligible applicants, particularly young graduates. Please be guided accordingly,” the statement further read.
