Lagos Warns Against Fake Teachers Recruitment Advert

The Lagos State government has dismissed the claim that its Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) is currently recruiting teachers for post-primary schools in the state, labelling the vacancy advertorial as fake.

The Permanent Secretary of TESCOM, Olubusola Abidakun refuted the claim in a statement released by the Head of the Public Affairs unit, Kayode Sutton.

The Permanent Secretary urged job seekers and the public to disregard the advertorial circulating on social media, emphasizing that TESCOM is not conducting any recruitment as suggested by the fake directive.

She said that the Commission has become aware of a false advertorial in the public domain, purportedly from TESCOM, inviting people to apply for ad-hoc staff positions in subjects such as Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Agricultural Science, Basic Technology, Physical and Health Education, and Information Technology.

The advertorial instructed applicants to submit their applications to the Chairman’s Office and the Workforce Division, Administrative & Human Resource Department, by 20th July 2023.

She said the agency’s recruitment exercise for the Teaching Service is solely conducted through the Commission’s employment portal.

She cautioned the public against falling into the hands of fraudsters, as the state government does not engage in covert recruitment and does not collect money from job seekers
