The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) wishes to inform the general public about the proliferation of fake and AI generated employment letters bearing the names of persons unknown to the Commission.
Reports reaching the NUPRC also suggest that some unscrupulous and criminal elements have been extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public under the pretext of helping them to secure employment at the Commission.
While the NUPRC has reported the activities of these criminal elements to law enforcement agencies and awaits an outcome of investigation, members of the public are advised to be circumspect so they don’t fall victim.
The NUPRC states categorically that there is no ongoing recruitment exercise at the Commission. However, when the Commission does decide to recruit, it will be done strictly in line with the extant laws and government regulations.
