The Nigerian Navy has warned members of the public against a fake recruitment notice circulating on social media, claiming to announce the 2026 Batch 39 recruitment exercise.
The Director of Naval Information, Capt. Abiodun Folorunsho, said in a statement on Monday that the notice was not issued or authorised by the Nigerian Navy and should be disregarded.
Folorunsho urged prospective applicants to be careful when seeking information about Navy recruitment, particularly on social media platforms, websites and other unofficial channels.
He explained that genuine information on recruitment, including eligibility requirements, application procedures, timelines and available categories, would be released only through
the Navy’s authorised communication channels.According to him, the official Nigerian Navy recruitment portal is joinnigeriannavy.navy.mil.ng, while general information about the service is available on navy.mil.ng.
The Navy also warned applicants against giving money to individuals, agents or third parties claiming to facilitate recruitment.
The recruitment exercise is free, and the Navy does not appoint agents or third parties to recruit applicants or collect fees on its behalf.
The service assured the public that it remains committed to a transparent and credible recruitment process, adding that verified updates would be communicated through its official channels.
Members of the public are therefore advised to verify any recruitment information before acting on it or making payments to anyone.
