Navy Raises Alarm Over Fake Recruitment, Says Exercise Is Free
The Nigerian Navy has raised the alarm over the recurrent circulation of fake recruitment notices on social media platforms and other unofficial channels.
The Service, in a statement, clarified that the purported recruitment notices circulating online are not authorised and should not be regarded as official announcements of the Nigerian Navy.
The Nigerian Navy urged prospective applicants and members of the public to exercise caution and disregard recruitment information obtained from unofficial social media accounts, websites or other unauthorised sources.
According to the Service, all official information concerning Nigerian Navy recruitment, including eligibility requirements, application procedures, timelines and recruitment categories, will be communicated exclusively through its authorised channels.
The official Nigerian Navy recruitment website is http://www.joinnigeriannavy.navy.mil.ng, while the Service’s official website is https://navy.mil.ng.
The Navy particularly warned members of the public against making payments to individuals, agents or unauthorised platforms in connection with recruitment.
It stressed that recruitment into the Nigerian Navy is free of charge, adding that the Service does not authorise third parties to recruit applicants or collect recruitment fees on its behalf.
The Nigerian Navy said it would continue to monitor and address the circulation of fraudulent recruitment information, while urging the public to rely solely on its official communication channels for accurate and verified information on recruitment exercises.
