The Nigerian Air Force has warned Nigerians to ignore a viral message claiming that the Force has started recruitment for the 2025/2026 Basic Military Training Course and Direct Short Service Commission.
In a statement on Thursday, the Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, said the message is fake and misleading.
Ejodame said, “The attention of the Nigerian Air Force has been drawn to fraudulent messages circulating online, falsely claiming that the NAF has commenced recruitment for the 2025/2026 BMTC and DSSC. The Nigerian Air Force wishes to state that no such recruitment exercise is currently ongoing. The public is therefore advised to disregard these messages in their entirety.”
He explained that the NAF recruitment process is always free and transparent. He said the Air Force does not collect money from applicants and does not use agents or middlemen.
Ejodame also said any genuine recruitment will be announced in national newspapers, on the official NAF website, and on its verified social media pages.
“We therefore urge members of the public to be wary of online scams and exercise extreme caution when coming across unofficial recruitment advertisements,” he added.
