Navy warns public against fake 2026 batch 39 recruitment notice
The Nigerian Navy has dismissed as fake a recruitment notice circulating on social media, purportedly announcing its 2026 Batch 39 recruitment exercise.
The Director of Naval Information, Capt. Abiodun Folorunsho, said in a statement on Monday that the notice was not authorised by the Navy and should not be regarded as an official recruitment announcement.
He urged prospective applicants and members of the public to be cautious and disregard recruitment information obtained from unofficial social media accounts, websites and other unauthorised sources.
According to him, official information on Nigerian Navy recruitment, including eligibility requirements, application procedures, timelines and recruitment categories, would only be communicated through authorised Navy channels.
“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.
Folorunsho also warned the public against making payments to individuals, agents or unauthorised platforms in connection with the recruitment exercise, stressing that the process was free.
“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.
