NPC Warns Nigerians Against Fake Census Recruitment Website
The National Population Commission (NPC) has cautioned Nigerians against falling victim to a fraudulent website falsely claiming to be recruiting Ad-hoc staff for the 2025 Population and Housing Census.
In a statement issued by the Commission’s Director of Public Affairs, Erelu Taibat Yemi Oloruntoba, the NPC clarified that no recruitment process is currently underway and urged the public to disregard the misleading information.
“The attention of the National Population Commission has been drawn to a fake website, https://qpetition.org/NPC-Ad-Hoc-Staff-Recruitment.html, created by some mischief makers concerning the purported recruitment for the 2025 Population and Housing Census with the intention to defraud unsuspecting citizens,” the statement read.
The Commission emphasized that the recruitment of Ad-hoc staff for the census exercise will only commence once President Bola Ahmed Tinubu sets an official date for the census.
The NPC assured Nigerians that any legitimate recruitment process will be formally announced through national media channels, the Commission’s social media platforms, and its official website.
“Whenever Mr. President fixes a date for the conduct of the upcoming Population and Housing Census and the Commission wants to recruit Ad-hoc staff for the census exercise, it will be announced on national media and the NPC social media platforms and website,” the statement reiterated.
Oloruntoba urged Nigerians to remain vigilant and avoid falling prey to online scams, warning against engaging with the fraudulent website.
“We implore the general public to disregard the fake website and its false information trending online to avoid falling victim to swindlers,” she said.
The NPC called on the public to verify all information regarding the census through its official communication channels to prevent being misled by fraudsters.
