Résumé

Thousands of job seekers could be at risk of deception as Cameroon’s Ministry of Public Service and Administrative Reform (Minfopra) firmly debunks reports claiming the recruitment of 31,000 youths into the civil service. In a communication issued on Tuesday, October 27, 2026, the ministry clarified that no recruitment competitive examination has been launched as of that date, dismissing the circulating announcement as false. The fake document, which has been spreading on social media, claims that the Head of State ordered the recruitment of 31,000 young people into the public service. However, Minfopra warns that the information is fraudulent and could be an attempt by individuals with malicious intentions to scam unsuspecting job seekers. The ministry’s warning comes as many young Cameroonians continue to seek employment opportunities amid growing demand for public-sector jobs. Job seekers are urged to remain vigilant, verify recruitment announcements through official government channels, and avoid falling victim to fraudsters exploiting their hopes of securing government employment.
