The National Directorate of Employment (NDE) has distanced itself from the message circulating on social media urging unemployed persons to register at any of its office nationwide.
NDE, in its disclaimer, said the message is fake, clarifying that it did not emanate from its office.
The Directorate, therefore, urged the public to disregard the message in its entirety and refrain from acting on it.
NDE management also said any official announcements, programmes, or directives from it were communicated through verified channels such as its official website, social media handles, offices nationwide, and recognized media outlets.
The agency stated in a disclaimer: “The attention of the management of the National Directorate of Employment (NDE) has been drawn to a message circulating on social media urging unemployed persons to register at any NDE office nationwide, claiming the registration will last for three weeks and encouraging the public to share the information widely.
“The NDE wishes to categorically state that this information is false and did not originate from us. The public is advised to disregard the message in its entirety and refrain from acting on it.
“Any official announcements, programmes, or directives from the NDE are communicated through verified channels such as our official website, social media handles, offices nationwide and recognized media outlets.
“We urge the public to verify any information attributed to the NDE to avoid being misled by false or unauthorized communications.”
