NRS Warns Against Fake FIRS Recruitment Notice

The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) has alerted the public regarding a fake recruitment notice circulating online that falsely claims to be from the defunct Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS). The NRS stated that it has not authorized or initiated any recruitment exercise and advised individuals to disregard the fraudulent notice titled “Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) Job Vacancy, Replacement.” This notice has been disseminated across social media and other platforms, misleading job seekers to submit personal information via an email address provided by the scammers.

The NRS emphasized that any recruitment announcements will only be made through its official website and authorized communication channels. It also reiterated that the FIRS has been replaced by the NRS and warned that any recruitment claims in the name of FIRS should be treated with caution.

The agency has not appointed any third parties to manage recruitment on its behalf and urged Nigerians to verify any recruitment information independently.
