- @Bulangu16 commented simply: "I want to be your administrative manager."
- @SuleimanSaiduAb raised concerns about the advert's professionalism, writing: "Using a generic email address is a massive corporate branding failure, even if the post happens to be real. It destroys public trust and makes their HR department look completely unprofessional. Scamdemic."
How to Apply
Interested candidates are encouraged to apply immediately, as the announcement did not specify a deadline. The original recruitment notice from CCECC Nigeria was shared via X, and applicants are advised to follow the instructions in the post. The company's expansion of its local workforce comes amid high competition for formal jobs in Nigeria, driven by a fast-growing population.
