UNIPORT disclaims online recruitment, warns members of the public

BY IBRAHIM BAKARE

The University of Port Harcourt has dissociated itself from an ongoing online job recruitment purportedly credited to the institution.

In a disclaimer forwarded to our correspondent and signed by the university’s new Public Relations Officer, Sam Kpenu, the institution urged the public to disregard the online job recruitment, describing it as scam.
It reads: “The attention of the University of Port Harcourt has been drawn to an online publication purportedly asking members of the public to apply for Academic and non-Academic jobs in the University of Port Harcourt.

“The authorities of the University wish to state categorically that:The University has not advertised for any job vacancies and the website created for an online application for employment did not emanate from the University of Port Harcourt.

“Consequently, the public is hereby advised not to patronise the so-called online recruitment exercise as it is the handiwork of fraudsters to smear the hard earned reputation of the University of Port Harcourt.

The University warns members of the public to disregard the fraudulent online portal/site.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the University of Port Harcourt disseminates information from the institution to the public through its official website (www.uniport.edu.ng) and national dailies.”
