The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has disowned a viral notice circulating on social media, directing applicants who were not shortlisted or did not receive invitation messages for the 2026 recruitment exercise to report to the nearest FRSC camp for verification. In a statement posted on its X handle on Sunday, the Corps described the notice as fake and unauthorised, warning applicants against acting on it. The notice had directed affected applicants to report to the nearest FRSC camp for verification on or before September 25, 2026.
The FRSC reiterated that it had not issued any such directive and advised applicants not to report to any FRSC office, camp or training institution based on the circulating message. The Corps warned the public to rely only on official FRSC communication channels for information concerning the 2026 recruitment exercise. This is to prevent applicants from falling prey to fraudsters who may be using the fake notice to deceive or defraud them.

The recruitment portal currently states that applications are closed and that existing applicants will be contacted for further steps. The Corps had invited applications from interested Nigerians, and the exercise is expected to be conducted transparently.

The Corps stated that anyone found using the recruitment exercise to deceive or defraud members of the public would be reported to the appropriate law-enforcement authorities. This warning is to protect applicants from falling prey to scammers.
The road safety corps urged members of the public to disregard the fraudulent publication and avoid becoming victims of recruitment scams.
