The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) has warned job seekers and the general public to be cautious of a fake registration message circulating on social media.
In a statement, the management of NDE described the message as “false and misleading,” urging the public to disregard it.
The viral message claims that the NDE is conducting a registration exercise for unemployed persons at its offices nationwide and encourages recipients to share the information widely.
However, the NDE management emphasized that the message did not originate from the organization and should be treated as a scam.
“The NDE wishes to categorically state that this information is false and did not originate from us,” the statement read.
The management advised the public to verify any information attributed to the NDE through its official channels, including its website, social media handles, offices nationwide, and recognized media outlets.
The NDE’s warning comes as job seekers are increasingly being targeted by scammers and fraudsters who promise non-existent employment opportunities.
“Any official announcements, programmes, or directives from the NDE are communicated through verified channels such as our official website, social media handles, offices nationwide and recognized media outlets,” the statement noted further.
