The Nigeria Immigration Service, NIS, has expressed deep concerns over the increasing wave of fake recruitment activities by fraudsters, saying it is working with relevant authorities to apprehend those behind the criminal enterprise.
The Service Public Relations Officer, DCI Kenneth Udo, disclosed this in a statement issued on Wednesday in Abuja.
According to the statement, the Service under the Comptroller General of Immigration, Kemi Nandap, remains committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity and professionalism in all its operations.
