The Nigerian Army has warned Nigerians against a fake recruitment publication circulating on social media, claiming that applications for the 92 Regular Recruitment Intake have commenced.
The Army said the recruitment notice was false and urged members of the public, particularly prospective applicants, to disregard it completely.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Acting Assistant Director, Army Public Relations, Directorate of Recruitment, Captain AU Hammanga, the Nigerian Army clarified that the publication did not originate from the military authorities.
“The publication is false and should be disregarded in its entirety,” the Army stated.
The Army explained that it has an established and official procedure for announcing recruitment exercises and other related activities.
According to the statement, Nigerians will be formally informed through the Army’s official communication channels whenever the recruitment portal for the 92 Regular Recruitment Intake is opened.
“The Nigerian Army maintains a clear and official procedure for announcing recruitment exercises and related activities and will duly inform the public through its official channels once the portal for 92 Regular Recruitment Intake is formally opened,” the statement added.
The warning comes amid concerns that fraudsters could exploit the fake recruitment notice to deceive unsuspecting job seekers and potentially demand money from applicants.
The Nigerian Army reaffirmed its commitment to transparency and professionalism in all recruitment processes and warned Nigerians to remain vigilant against fraudulent recruitment schemes.
“The Nigerian Army remains committed to transparency and professionalism in all recruitment processes,” the statement said.
Prospective applicants were advised to verify recruitment information through the Army’s official channels before submitting applications or making any payments.
The Army also urged members of the public to ignore the circulating publication until an official announcement is made regarding the commencement of the 92 Regular Recruitment Intake.
The military warned that Nigerians should be cautious of individuals or groups using fake recruitment advertisements to defraud job seekers.
