BREAKING: NYSC Names Websites on Recruitment Scam, Full List Emerges

• The NYSC has debunked the report of having a recruitment exercise as seen on some unauthorised websites

• The NYSC then listed two websites engaging in fraudulent recruitment activities while urging the public to engage with its website and social media platforms for any update

The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) dismissed the claim that it was advertising a recruitment exercise on its website, adding that its authority did not recognise the under-listed websites and was not recruiting.

According to a tweet by the service on Wednesday morning, November 27, the public is urged to desist from engaging with nysc.org and nyscjobs.ng, stating that they were not authorised and had nothing to do with the NYSC.
