Abia State civil service not recruiting, disregard fake advert - Govt

Abia State government has described as 'fake', an.advertisement being circulated on different social media platforms purporting to emanate from the Abia State Civil Service Commission with a claim that there's an ongoing recruitment exercise into the Abia State Civil Service.

A statement by Ferdinand Ekeoma, special adviser on media to Dr. Alex Otti, governor of the state, said  the advert did not emanate from Abia State government; therefore it's FAKE and should be disregarded. 

"There could not have been any recruitment when there's an ongoing verification exercise and reforms geared towards sanitising the Civil Service with a view to getting it rejigged in order to help drive the developmental policies and programmes of the present government," the statement added.

"Any recruitment exercise into the Civil Service shall be approved by the Governor and announced on the state-owned radio station, the BCA, other radio stations and on the pages of major newspapers through the Civil Service Commision. 

"Anyone with useful information that could lead to the arrest and prosecution of the fraudsters behind the advert should contact the office of the  Chief of Staff to the Governor or report to the nearest Police Station."
