The Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board ( NSUBEB) has warned the general public, especially those who applied, are screened and attended the physical interviews for job placement in the ongoing teachers recruitment exercise into public primary schools in the state, against patronizing unofficial sources and job racketeers promising to secure employment for them.
The warning becomes imperative following credible information that some nefarious people, not staff of Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board, are cashing in on the genuine desire of unsuspecting members of the public, especially applicants who were invited for the just concluded physical interviews, to secure job placement in the Public service of the state.
” This cabal of job racketeers is going about the state, promising to help people, especially those who applied for the job initially, secure teaching appointments with the Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board by parting with various sums of money to bribe their way through.
” The Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board, for the umpteenth time, wishes to make it very clear to the general public that it is not selling appointment letters. The process of releasing appointment letters to those to be employed is almost completed.
Consequently, Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board, hereby warns members of the public and applicants against patronizing anybody or job syndicate ravaging the state, promising to secure teaching appointments by paying for it.
The Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board and its staff have nothing to do with this, and in line with government policy, no kobo was demanded from the job seekers while filling the application forms online and at the physical interviews that were recently concluded.
” The nefarious activities of this job racketeering syndicate are deliberate attempt to cast aspersions on the Board’s hard-earned corporate image and truncate the state government’s good intention to create jobs for people in the labour market and fill existing critical vacancies in the public primary schools.
While assuring the general public that the Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board will soon make public the names of the successful candidates for over 4,000 appointible applicants who were invited for physical interviews, the Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board appeal to the general public as good citizens to report anybody or group that demanded any form of gratification towards securing teaching appointments in the state to Nasarawa State Universal Basic Education Board, Shendam Road, Lafia.
