Nigeria Revenue Service Warns Against Fake Job Ads

The Nigeria Revenue Service (NRS) has alerted the public about a fraudulent recruitment advertisement falsely claiming that the defunct Federal Inland Revenue Service (FIRS) is recruiting. The advertisement solicited CVs and personal information via the email “recruit@replacementnhrmt.org” and advertised a “graduates job” opportunity for the 2026/2027 session, with an application deadline of October 24, 2026.

In a public notice issued on Monday, the NRS categorically stated that this advertisement did not originate from them and described it as fraudulent. The NRS emphasized that it has neither authorized nor commenced any recruitment exercise and has not appointed any individual or third party to recruit on its behalf.

The agency reminded the public that the FIRS has been succeeded by the NRS and advised against responding to such fraudulent notices. The NRS urged individuals to report any suspicious recruitment communications to the appropriate authorities and confirmed that legitimate recruitment will be communicated through its official website and channels.
