Abuja, Nigeria: The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Ambassador Yusuf Maitama Tuggar, has alerted the public to a malicious scam circulating online. A fake letter, claiming the Federal Government is recruiting diplomats for 109 diplomatic missions worldwide, has been widely shared. The Minister categorically denies the authenticity of the letter, stating it is “entirely fictitious” and designed to deceive unsuspecting Nigerians.
SCAM DETAILS
The fake letter, titled “The Federal Government of Nigeria Begins Recruitment of Diplomats in 109 Diplomatic Missions Worldwide,” claims to include 76 Embassies, 22 High Commissions, and 11 Consulates. However, the Minister emphasizes that the recruitment of Foreign Service Officers is the exclusive responsibility of the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC), not the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
PUBLIC ADVISED TO BE VIGILANT
The public is urged to disregard the fake letter and any associated communication, as it is believed to be the work of mischief makers with malicious intent. Nigerians are advised to remain vigilant, refrain from engaging with these fraudulent messages, and always seek confirmation through official government channels.
MINISTER’S COMMITMENT TO TRANSPARENCY
Ambassador Tuggar reaffirmed his commitment to transparency, due process, and professionalism in the conduct of Nigeria’s foreign affairs. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs will continue to ensure that all official communications are authentic and trustworthy.
