The Nigerian Navy has warned the public against a fake notice circulating on social media, purportedly announcing the commencement of its 2026 Batch 39 recruitment exercise.
The Nigerian Navy said in a statement by the Director of Naval Information, Capt. Abiodun Folorunsho, on Monday in Abuja.
Folorunsho described the circulating information as unauthorised and warned members of the public against relying on it.
He advised prospective applicants and the public to exercise caution and disregard recruitment information obtained from unofficial social media accounts, websites, or other sources.
He said that the official information regarding Nigerian navy recruitment, including eligibility requirements, application procedures, timelines, and categories, would only be communicated through authorised Nigerian Navy channels.
He also advised the public against making payments to individuals, agents, or unauthorised platforms related to Nigerian navy recruitment as the exercise was free of charge.
“The Nigerian navy does not authorise third parties to recruit applicants or collect recruitment fees on its behalf. 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.
