The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has warned against fraudulent messages circulating online, falsely claiming the commencement of recruitment for the 2025/2026 Basic Military Training Course (BMTC) and Direct Short Service Commission (DSSC).
The Director of Public Relations and Information, Headquarters NAF, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, in a statement, said no such recruitment exercise is currently ongoing.
“The public is therefore advised to disregard these messages in their entirety,” he said.
Ejodame reminded Nigerians that NAF recruitment and enlistment processes are free, transparent, and strictly merit-based.
He explained that the NAF does not charge fees at any stage of its recruitment exercise and does not engage third parties or agents for enlistment.
“Whenever a recruitment exercise is to be conducted, it will be officially announced and widely publicised through credible national dailies, the NAF official website, and its verified social media platforms,” he stated.
He advised the public to beware of online scams and exercise extreme caution when encountering unofficial recruitment advertisements.
“For accurate and up-to-date information regarding the Nigerian Air Force, the public is advised to follow only the official NAF communication channels,” he said, listing the following links for reference:
