Tuesday, October 6, 2026 -The Nigeria Revenue Service, NRS, has disowned a recruitment notice circulating online in the name of its former identity, the Federal Inland Revenue Service, FIRS.
In a public notice titled “Fraudulent Recruitment Notice”
posted on its official X account on Monday, the NRS said it had been alerted to
a notice headlined “Federal Inland Revenue Service – FIRS Job Vacancy –
Replacement”, which is being circulated on social media and other platforms.
The Service said the notice was fraudulent and did not
originate from the NRS.
“The NRS wishes to state categorically that the notice is
fraudulent and did not emanate from the Nigeria Revenue Service,” it stated.
It reminded members of the public that the FIRS had been
succeeded by the NRS.
“Accordingly, any purported recruitment notice issued in the
name of FIRS should be treated with caution and independently verified,” the
Service added.
The NRS also clarified that it had neither authorised nor
commenced the recruitment exercise referenced in the fake notice.
“For the avoidance of doubt, the NRS has not authorised or
commenced the recruitment exercise referenced in the notice and has not
appointed or authorised any individual, agent, consultant or third party to
conduct any recruitment exercise on its behalf,” it said.
The agency advised members of the public to disregard the
notice and exercise caution when responding to recruitment-related messages and
links.
It urged Nigerians to verify recruitment information through
the Service’s official communication channels before taking any action.
