The African Union Commission (AUC) has issued a public warning disowning an event allegedly aimed at recruiting young Africans for ambassadorial roles.
In a statement released through its Department of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, the AUC clarified that the summit and its associated Country Ambassador application form were illegitimate.
The Commission further stated that no such application was developed, approved, or disseminated through any of the AUC's official websites or social media platforms. "The African Union Commission categorically states that it has not organised the purported Summit and neither has this form, the website, and their contents been developed, approved, or disseminated by the African Union," AUC's statement read.
Notably, AUC's warning came after a number of professionals and students reported coming across online advertisements inviting them to apply for "Country ambassador" roles for the 'summit'.
