The Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission (ICPC) has denied reports that it is conducting a fresh recruitment exercise.
This was contained in a statement issued by the ICPC Management, who disclosed that there’s no fresh exercise being conducted.
It said the one the Commission conducted last year already has a shortlist of those who met the preliminary criteria.
The statement read, “The attention of ICPC has been drawn to an advertisement; regarding a purported recruitment exercise by the Commission.
“The notice in the media is in respect of the 2020 recruitment exercise which was suspended due to the COVID-19 challenges.
“For the avoidance of doubt, ICPC wishes to state categorically that it is not currently conducting a fresh recruitment exercise.
“Before the suspension of the exercise in 2020, the Commission had received over 500,000 applications; and shortlisted those that met preliminary criteria. Further processing is in view.
“The Commission hopes to resume the exercise once it obtains clearance from appropriate quarters. There is, therefore, no new recruitment exercise. Submission of applications has closed and no new applications are being entertained.
“The general public is therefore warned to be wary of any notice of recruitment by ICPC.”
