SEC Denies Conducting Recruitment Exercise

By Aduragbemi Omiyale

The management of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has described as false news making the round that it was currently recruiting into the agency.

In a statement issued on Thursday, the apex regulatory agency in the Nigerian capital market asked the public to disregard news on some websites and blogs (excluding Business Post) on the purported recruitment exercise.

“The attention of the Securities and Exchange Commission has been drawn to several websites and blogs purportedly affiliated to the commission, which is said to be advertising ongoing ‘recruitment exercise’ by the commission.

“They claim to provide vital information on SEC Recruitment 2022 as well as encourage applicants to apply through a fake SEC website”.

“The commission wishes to inform the public that the referenced websites and blogs are fake, not associated with the commission and that no such recruitment exercise is being carried out. For the avoidance of doubt, the commission has not advertised any vacancies and is not currently recruiting,” the disclosure said.
