Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr. Steve Ayorinde, has made it clear that there is no job for which people are being invited to apply.
He advised Lagosians, in a statement today, to be wary of dubious outfits that are fraudulently seeking patronage from unsuspecting job seekers. He added that state government is worried by the increasing activities of unscrupulous individuals and organizations, employing various tactics to advertise for phony job placement and in the course take advantage of unsuspecting innocent citizens.
The commissioner warned criminally-minded individuals and organizations to desist from these despicable acts as anyone caught will be prosecuted according to the Law.
Ayorinde called on the residents to always ascertain the genuineness of all job advertisements and patronize only those that can be traced and verified to be authentic.
It would be recalled that the Lagos State House of Assembly, in a Resolution passed recently, called for public sensitization and awareness on activities of illegal organizations seeking for patronage for non-existing jobs by defrauding innocent people in the process. [myad]
