By Nudoiba Ojen
Ekiti State Government has dissociated itself from the purported TESCOM Recruitment Registration website Portals apparently opened by fraudsters to defraud prospective job applicants.
Governor Biodun Oyebanji recently approved the recruitment of 1,800 teaching and non-teaching staff into public schools across the State, the State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM).
But the Commissioner for Information, Taiwo Olatunbosun, said on a radio programme on Thursday that the state government “is yet to conclude administrative procedure to advertise the vacancies and has therefore not opened any portal for the recruitment exercise”.
Olatunbosun said, “Any portal opened on the recruitment exercise for now is counterfeit and intended to defraud unsuspecting members of the general public.
“The state government has its approved media channels for such information and would continue to use the same for all public communication”.
He urged members of the public particularly intending applicants to disregard any information or website currently in circulation that does not emanate from TESCOM to avoid becoming victims of fraudsters.
Olatunbosun assured that the state government would continue to be on guard on issues concerning the welfare of citizens, stressing that the focus is to rapidly develop the State and improve the general wellbeing of residents.
He said, “The Oyebanji administration adopted a holistic approach in achieving sustainable development. The emphasis is pursuing solutions that benefits the entire system.
Olatunbosun who assured that government would continue to employ qualified people into the public service to make it versatile enough to deliver high-quality services and implement government policies in public interest thus ensuring continuity in governance, said the present administration is however, also making the environment conducive for business including Micro, Small and Medium Scale enterprises (MSMEs) and farming to thrive in the State.
