One of the most effective ways to protect yourself from recruitment scams in Nigeria is knowing the exact official portal address for every Federal Ministry, Department, and Agency (MDA).
Scammers build look-alike websites with URLs like customs-recruitment.com or efcc-jobs.ng to trap job seekers. To help Nigerian job seekers navigate authentic civil service recruitments, RecruitmentAlert maintains a continuously monitored directory of 42 federal agency portal endpoints.
