NAFDAC raises the alarm over job racketeers

By on January 18, 2014

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control on Friday raised the alarm over a fake recruitment syndicate, saying it had not commissioned any agency for such purposes.

The Chairman, NAFDAC Governing Council, Prof. John Ibu, told Journalists in Abuja that as a responsible government organisation, the agency follows due process in its recruitment exercise.

According to him, NAFDAC does not collect any form of money or payment for recruitment into its workforce.

He said, “Our attention has been drawn to the illegal and fraudulent activities of scammers extorting money from unsuspecting victims in the guise of recruiting them into NAFDAC.

“These criminal elements have put up an advertorial message online claiming that they were recruiting for the Agency. The message read thus: NAFDAC Recruitment from 2014/2015 is put. Call Topix on 0092348024065604. www.topic.net/world/Nigeria/TPP26T0946QVFMAMK.

“Against this background, we want to state unequivocally that NAFDAC is not recruiting at the moment, nor has it mandated anybody or organisation to do so on its behalf. Members of the public are urged to beware of the activities of these conmen posing as consultants or recruitment agencies for NAFDAC.

“As a responsible government organisation, the agency follows due procedure of recruitment by advertising existing vacancies in the newspapers and hosting same information on its website.

“Besides, NAFDAC does not collect any form of money or payment for recruitment into its workforce.

“We hereby urge members of the public to disregard this information and report any suspected shady activity to NAFDAC via text to 08033630600, 08058741647 and the nearest NAFDAC office nationwide or security agencies for prompt response.”

Ibu also announced the extension of the tenure of Dr. Paul Orhii as Director-General of the agency.

He said the President, Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, had reappointed Orhii for another term of five years.

This, he said, was in recognition of Orhii’s achievement in the efforts towards eradicating fake drugs in the country.
