The Nigeria Customs Service has advised job seekers against offering bribe to anybody for recruitment into the service.
The Public Relation Officer of the service, Joseph Attah, gave the advice in an interview in Abuja.
Attah dismissed claims that some officers are collecting money as bribe from job applicants in the ongoing recruitment by the service.
He described rumours that some officials of Customs are collecting 300,000 naira to give offer of employment as false and baseless.
The services opened its portal on April 17th, for the recruitment of 3,200 officers and men of the service, but 524,315 applicants have so far successfully completed their application process.
Reacting to the development, Attah said that those peddling the rumour must have fell into the hands of fraudsters because no officer in the service would collect money from job applicants.
He therefore urged the general public, especially job seekers, to be wary of fraudsters and not to fall into the hands of such unscrupulous elements.
