The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has distanced itself from an information being circulated on some social media platforms about admission openings into the NAF College of Nursing, NAFCON.
NAF referred to this announcement as fake and fraudulent, which was not coming from the NAF.
The Director of Public Relations and Information, NAF, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet said the originator of the purported admission nomination into “ND/HND programmes” at the NAF College of Nursing (NAFCON) directs unsuspecting applicants to pay a non-refundable fee of N15,500 at the “Office of the Registrar”.
Gabkwet stated that to perpetrate this unlawful act, the fraudster went further to provide phone numbers, email address and website address.
He said that “it is disheartening that despite repeated warnings by the NAF, some members of the public still fall prey to the unwholesome and nefarious activities of fraudsters and con men who swindle them of their hard-earned money for admissions that do not exist.”
Identify this particular fraudster
He noted that while the NAF is frantically making efforts to track and identify this particular fraudster and others to bring them to justice, the NAF wishes to state that currently, the NAFCON has not commenced or advertised for any admission into ND or HND Nursing at the College.

Gabkwet said “the general public should also be informed that so far, the National Board for Technical Education has approved only the ND programme in General Nursing for the College, which is yet to be advertised”.
Accordingly, information regarding admission into ND General Nursing programme at NAFCON would be communicated to the general public through the NAF website, www.airforce.mil.ng and other verified NAF official social media platforms.
Members of the public are hereby advised to disregard any advert placement circulating in the social media on admission into NAFCON.
