He added: “Neither the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment, the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) and the state selection committee have the knowledge of the job recruitment and the public is hereby warned to disregard the website, not to fall victim of fraudsters.

“We are still expecting the guidelines and selection modalities from the federal ministry of labour and employment.”

Giving reasons for its warning, Abilagbo said: “The committee received several reports of an existing fake NDE website for the recruitment process and it is imperative to protect the unsuspecting members of public not be the victims.”
