The Federal Airports Authority of
Nigeria (FAAN) has warned that some fraudulent individuals are demanding
that applicants to the recently advertised vacant positions in the
agency pay money into some bank accounts in order to “influence” their
employment into the Authority.
The Authority therefore informed the
public, especially applicants to the said vacant positions that it does
not demand money from any applicant to get employed.
“The current recruitment exercise is
being done in the most transparent and orderly manner so we advise that
nobody should pay any amount of money to any individual or company to
get employed in the Authority,” FAAN said in a statement signed by its
General Manager, Corporate Communications of the agency, Yakubu Dati.
“We also advise that affected applicants
should report such fraudulent proposition to the police as the Federal
Airports Authority of Nigeria will not be held responsible for any
fraudulent transaction in relation to the on-going recruitment exercise
in the Authority.
“All employments will be based on merit
as there are stipulated criteria for the recruitment into the Authority.
This release became necessary following the arrest of one man by
officers of our Aviation Security Service at the Murtala Muhammed
Airport while he was handing over a forged letter of employment to an
unsuspecting applicant. The suspect has since been handed over to the
police at the airport,” the statement said.
