The National Population Commission (NPC) has issued a warning to the public about a fraudulent website claiming to facilitate recruitment for the 2025 Population and Housing Census.
The website, (https://npc-career.allprogram.site/job), was created with malicious intent to defraud unsuspecting citizens.
According to Erelu Taibat Yemi Oloruntoba, NPC’s Director of Public Affairs, the commission is not currently conducting any recruitment for Ad-hoc staff related to the upcoming census.
Recall that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that a committee will be established to align the census budget with the government’s present financial situation before issuing a proclamation for the conduct of the biometric Population and Housing Census.
The NPC therefore warned Nigerians to be aware that any recruitment for Ad-hoc staff will be officially announced through national media outlets, as well as the NPC’s verified social media platforms and website.
The commission urged the public to disregard the fake website and its misleading information to avoid falling victim to scams.
The NPC noted that it is actively investigating the creators of the fake website and encourages everyone to seek accurate information regarding the commission’s activities from their official social media handles and website.
