Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), has warned Nigerians of a fake portal that is being used to recruit ad hoc staff in preparation for the 2023 general elections.

Rotimi Oyekanmi (Chief Press Secretary to INEC Chairman), stated that the portal was fake because the commission has stopped recruiting for the election.

The statement read;

“The website/blog below is advertising ad hoc staff positions for the 2023 general election.

“However, the commission is no longer recruiting ad hoc staff for the 2023 general election.

“The INEC ad hoc staff recruitment portal was officially shut down on December 14 2022.

“Therefore, the site, with the URL –http://www.yournewclaims.com/Inec-Recriutment/ is fake. It is intended to defraud unsuspecting members of the public. Nigerians should disregard it.”
