Some job recruits have accused the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) of abandoning them after they resigned from their former jobs based on employment promises that never materialised. The affected individuals said they were asked to leave their previous workplaces in preparation for new roles, but were later left without jobs or income for several years.

According to the recruits, the recruitment process dragged on without clear communication, leaving many of them financially and emotionally distressed. They claimed that repeated efforts to get explanations from the authorities were ignored, forcing them into hardship and uncertainty.

The group said their lives were put on hold while they waited, hoping the situation would be resolved. Some reported struggling to support their families, pay rent, or find alternative employment because they believed their appointment would eventually be confirmed.

They are now calling on the CBN and relevant government agencies to address the matter urgently, clarify their status, and either honour the employment promises or help them find solutions to recover from the years of disruption they experienced.
