SEC reacts to alleged recruitment of 811 candidates

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) Monday urged the general public to disregard messages and video being circulated on social media on the alleged recruitment exercise by the commission.

The SEC Head of Corporate Communications, Mrs. Efe Ebelo, said in a statement in Lagos that the text and video message are false and urged the general public to disregard them.

She said: “The Commission’s attention has been drawn to some messages and a video being circulated in the social media; wherein the Commission is alleged to have carried out a recruitment exercise where 811 persons were employed, all from Anambra with one from Kano State.

“The messages claimed the person shown in the video as Ms. Mary Uduk, the Acting Director- General of the Commission.

“The Commission wishes to inform the general public that the person shown in the video is not the Acting Director-General of SEC, and no such recruitment exercise was conducted.

“For the avoidance of any doubt, since the acting director-general assumed office, the Commission has not carried out any recruitment exercise.

“The general public is therefore advised to disregard the messages and video being circulated as they are false.”
