In statement by the Deputy Director of Press in the Ministry, Samuel Olowookere, he said the call for recruitment in the ministry is false, urging the public to disregard it.
The statement said: “The general public is hereby advised to disregard this false directive as it did not emanate from the Federal Government through the Federal Ministry of Labour and Employment.
“In view of the apprehension the above false information has generated, it is pertinent to point out that the present administration is committed to the creation of decent employment opportunities for the teeming unemployed Nigerians."
