National Identification Authority headquarters building NIA cautions against fake recruitment The National Identification Authority (NIA), has
cautioned the general public to disregard any
information making rounds that the Authority is
currently recruiting personnel to serve in various
capacities in an upcoming registration exercise.
A statement signed by the acting Head of Corporate
Affairs of the Authority, Pearl Akonobea Offei,
stressed that the NIA is not recruiting, and has
not contracted any person or entity to recruit on
their behalf.
The denial follows news circulating on social
media that the authority is recruiting and has
contracted the Electoral Commission to recruit on
their behalf.
According to the Authority, such claims were
false, and were being perpetrated by persons who
seek to defraud unsuspecting Ghanaians especially
the youth.
It further noted that, the NIA will publicly
advertise available job opportunities at its
outfit for qualified persons to apply.
Police cautions against social media fraudsters
The Ghana Police Service in a recent statement
urged the public to be vigilant against fraudsters
especially on social media.
According to the service, the fraudsters target
entrepreneurs, contractors and individuals seeking
employment and contracts in government agencies.
“They use some faceless individuals as their
personal assistants, who are made to place phone
calls to their victims demanding various sums of
money through mobile money to facilitate their
engagement with the so-called ministers or big
men. After payment is made, their phone lines and
social media accounts are deactivated,” the
statement said. Source - citifmonline.com
