NIS: Misleading posts circulate online
The NIS said its attention was drawn to the fake announcement after it began spreading rapidly across several social media platforms, especially Facebook.
In a statement via X on Wednesday, December 10, a spokesperson for the Service confirmed that no such recruitment is being conducted, describing the post as “a deliberate attempt to mislead unsuspecting Nigerians.”
According to the Service, the claim is entirely fabricated and did not originate from any official NIS communication channel.
NIS says recruitment claim is false
In a statement shared on its verified platforms, the Service urged Nigerians to disregard the information completely.
“This is false. The public is advised to ignore, avoid engaging, and report the page immediately,” the statement read.
The NIS stressed that recruitment announcements are made only through approved government platforms, not anonymous social media pages circulating unverified links.

“The only Immigration recruitment ongoing is the one just conducted by the Civil Defence, Corrections, Fire and Immigration Board (CDCFIB), and applicants are currently awaiting results,” the NIS explained.
The Service advised applicants to follow updates strictly from the CDCFIB portal.
Where to check for authentic information
The NIS urged Nigerians to rely solely on official channels for recruitment notices to avoid falling victim to fraud or misinformation.
“Applicants are advised to check the CDCFIB portal for the latest updates,” it stated, referencing the official link: https://recruitment.cdcfib.gov.ng.
