The Lagos State Teaching Service Commission (TESCOM) has alerted members of the public of the fraudulent activities of some people demanding money to assist in gaining teaching employment with Lagos State Government.
The Permanent Secretary, Teaching Service Commission, Mrs. Bopo Oyekan-Ismaila, who issued the alert warned members of the public not to fall victims to scammers seeking to assist in shortlisting of applicants or sell TESCOM teaching slots to unsuspecting individuals.
She noted that the online submission of applications for recruitment of Teachers into the Lagos State Public Service has just ended and informed that the Commission has not started the process of shortlisting candidates.
The Permanent Secretary emphasizes that recruitment exercise into the State public service is purely merit based with no monetary requirements.
She advised members of the public to disregard notices being circulated through Whatsapp messages and other social media requesting for monetary gratifications from unsuspecting applicants to help secure TESCOM teaching slots or checking of dashboards for shortlisting of applicants.
She further advised the public to be cautious and vigilant, ensuring they do not fall victim to these scams.
