On Wednesday, the Oyo State Government threatened to punish people it referred to as “undesirable elements” that engage in recruitment fraud with the express purpose of defrauding the general public.
An alleged list that has been spreading on social media purports to be the State Universal Basic Education Board’s official announcement that the hiring process has started.
In a statement, the board’s chairman, Nureni Adeniran, asked the public to exercise caution and avoid doing business with con artists posing as recruitment representatives for the board.
According to him, management had started looking for people responsible for the fraud and had vowed to turn them in if they were apprehended.
