The Kogi State Government has warned against extortion of applicants in the ongoing teachers’ recruitment in the state.
The Kogi State Chairman, Teaching Service Commission, STETSCOM, Cecilia Cook gave the warning in a statement on Tuesday.
Cook said it has come to the notice of the commission that, some unscrupulous elements have been taking advantage of innocent applicants to extort money in the name of helping them to seek employment.
She said, “To set the record straight, STETSCOM under my watch is not requesting money for the application of suitably qualified candidates to fill vacancies in our schools.
