The Lagos State Government has debunked an advert been circulated on social media about job vacancies at coronavirus isolation centres in the state.
A statement signed and issued by Tunbosun Ogunbanwo, the state Director of Public Affairs, on Friday, noted that the advert did not emanate from the state government, the health ministry or the COVID-19 Incident Command System.
“We believe this is the work of fraudsters and mischief makers who are bent on exploting the #COVID19 pandemic situation to swindle unsuspecting citizens who are willing to volunteer in the war against the global pandemic of their hard earned resources, said Ogunbanwo in the statement.
“Citizens are therefore advised to disregard this job vacancy advert in its entirety and rely only on official communication channels of the Lagos State Government and the Ministry of Health for news and information on #COVID19Lagos Response.
“We are also currently investigating the source of the unsolicited advert and we assure citizens that the Lagos State Government will do all in its power to apprehend the authors and bring them to book.
“Citizens are encouraged to desist from sharing any suspicious or unverified news or information on #COVID19Lagos and bring same to the notice of the State Government for necessary action.
“Let’s continue to take responsibility #ForACOVID19FreeLagos.”
