stated that the service is not embarking on any recruitment exercise
as being speculated in some quarters.
The revenue service also warned fraudsters to desist from duping
innocent residents in the guise of recruitment exercise by the FCT

the tricks of fraudsters.
Our correspondent revealed that the service is inundated by reports of
ongoing staff recruitment exercise, just as the service has assured
that any recruitment will be made public.
A reliable source who spoke to our correspondent stated that the
management of FCT-IRS are disturbed over the development, stressing
that security operatives have stepped up investigation into the
alleged recruitment scam.
The source who pleaded anonymity said, “I want to state emphatically
that FCT-IRS is not embarking on any recruitment exercise as
speculated in many platforms. The management have expressed concerns
