The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has dismissed a fake press release circulating on social media that falsely claimed the agency had announced a recruitment exercise.
In a statement posted on its official X handle on Tuesday, NAFDAC said the purported announcement did not originate from the agency and is entirely false.
“While NAFDAC periodically conducts recruitment exercises to engage qualified Nigerians, no such announcement has been made at this time,” the agency stated.
NAFDAC cautioned members of the public against engaging with or relying on fraudulent recruitment information, which is often circulated to mislead and extort unsuspecting applicants.
“For the avoidance of doubt, NAFDAC has not issued any press release or notice announcing a new recruitment exercise.
“All authentic information from the Agency is communicated exclusively through the official NAFDAC website and recognised, verified communication channels,” the statement added.
The agency urged the public to remain vigilant, disregard fake announcements, and always verify information directly from official NAFDAC platforms.
