Nigerian Navy warns public against fake recruitment notice

n n

The Nigerian Navy has dismissed as fake a recruitment notice currently circulating on social media platforms, purportedly announcing a 2026 Batch 39 recruitment exercise.

n

The Director of Naval Information, Capt. Abiodun Folorunsho, in a statement on Monday, said the circulating information was not an authorised publication and should not be trusted as an official recruitment announcement.

n

He advised prospective applicants and the public to exercise caution and disregard recruitment information obtained from unofficial social media accounts, websites or other sources.

n

He said official information regarding Nigerian Navy recruitment, including eligibility requirements, application procedures, timelines and categories, would only be communicated through authorised Nigerian Navy channels.

n

“The official website for Nigerian Navy recruitment or enlistment is http://www.joinnigeriannavy.navy.mil.ng, and the official website remains https://navy.mil.ng,” he said.

n

He also advised the public against making payments to individuals, agents or unauthorised platforms in connection with Nigerian Navy recruitment, as the exercise was free of charge.

n

“The Nigerian Navy does not authorise third parties to recruit applicants or collect recruitment fees on its behalf.

n

“The Navy remains committed to maintaining a transparent and credible recruitment process and will continue to provide timely and accurate information through its official communication channels,” he said.
