Our attention has been drawn to a message in the social media that the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Owerri Branch, is recruiting. We wish to inform the general public that *CBN Owerri Branch is not recruiting.** Please beware of fraudsters.

A Twitter user replied that such an information could go round when there was an underground recruitment going on.
Most times when there’s an underground recruitment, this happens.

Yet others said that the situation in the country could make job seekers gullible to believe in such recruitment claims.
People are gullible i tell you and the situation of the country would allow anyone desperate for Job believe this.
