According to a source, the federal government of Nigeria has been drawn to the clandestine activities of unscrupulous elements parading themselves as agents and deceiving unsuspecting young Nigerians into believing that the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, provides easy access to “greener pastures” for studies and job opportunities.
This has led to an alarming influx of Nigerians into the territory in recent times. The resultant effect is an unprecedented increase in consular cases of strained young Nigerians in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
The general public is advised to be on the alert in order to guard against these so-called agents in Nigeria or elsewhere peddling admission and the existence of unverifiable job opportunities in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
It is advisable that students and their parents/ guardians carry out due diligence checks on any so-called university or tertiary institution before applying for admission is made.
It is also instructive to forward against deceptive advertising of job opportunities in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus.
