Ghana’s petroleum downstream regulator, the National Petroleum Authority (NPA), has cautioned the public, especially job seekers, against information circulating on social media and other online platforms about alleged recruitment into the Authority.
The Authority described the purported recruitment, circulated under the title “Offer of Appointment into the National Petroleum Authority,” as a fake scheme aimed at swindling unsuspecting job seekers.
“The purported recruitment letters and messages did not originate from the NPA and should therefore be disregarded and treated as fraudulent,” the Authority said in a statement.
The statement strongly cautioned the public against engaging with, or making any form of payment to, individuals or groups claiming to represent the NPA in relation to any recruitment exercise.
“All official communications from the NPA are issued only through its official website (www.npa.gov.gh) and verified social media handles,” it added.
The regulator said it is collaborating with law enforcement agencies to investigate, identify, and prosecute persons involved in these fraudulent activities.
The NPA urged the public to remain vigilant and report any suspicious recruitment activity or correspondence claiming to be from the Authority to the appropriate channels.
