The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has
disowned a website advertising ad-hoc staff positions for the 2023 general
election.
In September, INEC unveiled a portal for the recruitment of
ad hoc staff such as supervisory presiding officers, presiding officers,
assistant presiding officers, and registration area technicians, for the 2023
elections.
The commission said the online portal for the applications
would open on September 14 at 8 am and close on December 14 at 8 pm.
But on Tuesday, a website looking like that of INEC asked applicants to register for all
categories of ad-hoc positions.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, Rotimi Oyekanmi, chief
press secretary to INEC chairman, said the website was created with the
intention to defraud the general public and, therefore, asked Nigerians to
disregard it.
“The website/blog is advertising ad-hoc staff positions for
the 2023 General Election,” the statement reads.
“However, the commission is no longer recruiting ad-hoc
staff for the 2023 general election. The INEC ad-hoc staff recruitment portal
was officially shut down on 14th December 2022.
“Therefore, the site,
with the URL – http://www.yournewclaims.com/Inec-Recriutment/ is fake. It is
intended to defraud unsuspecting members of the public. Nigerians should
disregard it.”
