The National Population Commission has issued a public warning about a fraudulent website falsely claiming to be recruiting for the 2025 Population and Housing Census.
The warning was contained in a statement signed by the NPC spokesperson, Erelu Taibat Oloruntoba.
According to report the website, falsely presented itself as a recruitment platform for the upcoming census.
The NPC clarified that it is not currently recruiting ad hoc staff for the 2025 Census.
Report says, President Bola Tinubu has announced that a committee would be set up to align the census budget with the government’s financial position before making a formal proclamation for the biometric Population and Housing Census.
The Commission assured the public that when recruitment for ad hoc staff begins, an official announcement will be made through national media outlets and the NPC’s verified social media platforms and website.
NPC urged Nigerians to disregard any information from the fake website to avoid falling victim to scams.
