Anyone found soliciting or collecting money in connection with jobs, contracts or other opportunities purportedly linked to the Lagos State House of Assembly will be reported to law enforcement authorities for investigation and possible prosecution, the Assembly has warned.
The warning was contained in a public disclaimer posted on the Assembly’s official X handle on Thursday, 24 September, 2026, signed by the Clerk of the House, cautioning job seekers, contractors and prospective vendors against fraudsters demanding money in exchange for employment, appointments, contracts and other opportunities.
The Assembly stressed that it neither requests nor accepts payments, fees or gratification for employment, appointments, contract awards, procurement opportunities or any other official benefit.
According to the statement, all recruitment, procurement, tendering and related processes are handled through established statutory procedures and communicated exclusively via the Assembly’s official channels.
The Assembly urged members of the public to be wary of individuals demanding payment while claiming to represent the legislature, warning that anyone who makes such payments does so at their own risk and that the Assembly would bear no responsibility for any loss or damage arising from such transactions.
It advised the public to rely only on its authorised communication channels for information concerning recruitment, procurement, tendering and other official activities.
