Every year, thousands of Nigerians search for jobs in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and other cities. Unfortunately, scammers also take advantage of desperate job seekers.
Many fake recruitment centers now operate under different company names. Some invite applicants for interviews through SMS, WhatsApp, or phone calls. Others promise instant employment without proper screening.
Most times this people a just group of people with other business in mind and actually a job. My advice to fresh graduates is to learn hand work or enter Keke business. If you want start a Keke business check my article on where to get free keke for hire purchase.
With this, I have decided to list the addresses that have been repeatedly mentioned by people claiming they experienced suspicious recruitment activities there. These claims have been independently verified, so job seekers are encouraged to carry out proper research before visiting any location.
Why Fake Job Recruitment Is Increasing
Nigeria’s unemployment situation has created opportunities for fraudsters.
Many scammers target:
- Fresh graduates
- NYSC members
- People searching for remote jobs
- Applicants looking for urgent work
- Young people relocating to Lagos or Abuja
Some fake recruiters ask candidates to pay for:
- Training materials
- Registration forms
- Medical tests
- ID cards
- Uniforms
- Administrative charges
Real employers rarely demand payment before employment.
