ABSUTH Warns Prospective Students, Job Seekers Against Scammers

Abia State University Teaching Hospital, (ABSUTH), Mr Joe Onwuka, Abayi Aba, has warned prospective job and admission seekers to be careful of scammers who extort money through fake admissions and employment advertisements.
The Assistant Director, Public Relations, ABSUTH, gave the warning yesterday while speaking to newsmen in Aba.
According to him, ABSUTH is not employing people and not admitting students in its School of Nursing yet as its strike subsists.
“The information some people received which they claim emanated from ABSUTH asking for employment and admissions application is not from ABSUTH which is still on strike,’’ he said.
Onwuka said it were very amusing that people could send out information or even publications inviting job applications from prospective job seekers to apply for employment to an institution on strike.
“It is very unfortunate indeed. We have been on strike for months now and the resumption date is not yet known.
“The day of resumption is not yet known because the government is yet to settle with the staff on matters of salary arrears which took them away on strike since last November.
“And here we are receiving applications even from applicant’s resident overseas and within Nigeria claiming to be responding to job advertisements which ABSUTH never posted.
