The Board made it clear that it has not engaged any individual or third-party websites to handle or advertise teaching vacancies on its behalf.
LASUBEB further urged the public to disregard any such job advertisements and to exercise caution in dealing with unsolicited job offers, particularly those requiring the submission of personal details or payment for registration.
“LASUBEB has not authorized any recruitment drive via online platforms, and we strongly advise the public to be vigilant and avoid falling prey to these scams,” Dr. Shittu stated.
“If you receive any email or message claiming to offer teaching opportunities on behalf of the Board, please disregard it immediately.”
The Board urged anyone who has already engaged with these fraudulent websites or individuals to cease communication immediately and refrain from making any payments or sharing sensitive personal information.
