Nyesom Wike, FCT minister
The Federal Capital Territory Civil Service Commission (FCT-CSC) has warned the public about a fraudulent social media advertisement claiming that 3,000 job vacancies are available.
The federal government last year approved the establishment of the commission to allow career progression for civil servants in the FCT administration to become permanent secretaries.
In a statement on Thursday, the commission described the advert as “fake news” and a scheme by fraudsters aiming to deceive unsuspecting job seekers.
The FCT-CSC urged members of the public to disregard the false information, noting that it has no connection with the purported job vacancies.

“The attention of the Federal Capital Territory Civil Service Commission, FCT-CSC, has been drawn to an Online publication/ advertisement circulating on social media platforms requesting prospective job applicants to apply for a non-existent ‘3,000 job vacancies’,” the statement reads.
“We wish to state emphatically that the publication is FAKE NEWS. It is the handiwork of fraudsters who intend to defraud unsuspecting members of the public, especially job seekers.
“The FCT-CSC, therefore, wishes to inform the public to disregard such unauthentic information. It is false and has nothing to do with the FCT-CSC.”

The commission asked members of the public to visit its headquarters at the APDC building, behind the Abuja Geographical Information System (AGIS) complex, central business district, Abuja, for verification.
