The National Open University of Nigeria (NOUN) says its attention has been drawn to a story making the rounds especially in the social media claiming it has embarked on “massive recruitment” of staff.
In a statement issued by its Director of Media & Publicity, Mr Ibrahim Sheme, NOUN noted that the said story was written by one Ezekiel Enejeta and first published on his website, www.financialwatchngr.com.
“The university wishes to state categorically that the story is false. There is no such recruitment going on at NOUN,” Mr Sheme said in the statement.
He explained that, “The only public notice we issued on job vacancies was for senior lecturers, the deadline for which has since expired.”
“Nigerians should kindly take note and be wary of any recruitment scams perpetrated by dubious persons in the name of the university,” Mr Sheme warned.
