Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>The National Population Commission, NPC, said it wishes to alert the public to a fraudulent website https:\/\/npc-career.allprogram.site\/job created by individuals with malicious intent.<\/p>\n

Erelu Taibat Yemi Oloruntoba, NPC\u2019s Director of Public Affairs, said in a statement that the fake site falsely claims to facilitate recruitment for the 2025 Population and Housing Census, aiming to defraud unsuspecting citizens.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want to state unequivocally that the Commission is not currently conducting any recruitment for Ad-hoc staff related to the upcoming census. President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, has stated that a committee will be established to align the census budget with the government\u2019s present financial situation before issuing a proclamation for the conduct of the upcoming biometric Population and Housing Census,\u201d the statement outlined.<\/p>\n

It, therefore, warned Nigerians to be aware that when there is a date for the census and it becomes necessary for the commission to recruit ad hoc staff for the exercise, it will be officially announced through national media outlets, as well as the NPC\u2019s verified social media platforms and website.<\/p>\n

It urged the general public to disregard the fake website and its misleading information to avoid falling victim to scams.<\/p>\n

The statement avowed that NPC is actively investigating the creators of this fake website, adding, \u201cwe encourage everyone to seek accurate information regarding the NPC\u2019s activities from our official social media handles and website.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the statement, NPC is committed to keeping the public informed about developments concerning the first biometric Population and Housing Census in Nigeria.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe appreciate your support in ensuring a successful census exercise,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n
