Nigerian Air Force Speaks On Commencing Fresh Recruitment

The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has debunked viral reports making the rounds that it has commenced recruitment of fresh candidates across the country.

Naija News understands that the NAF was reacting to recruitment adverts being circulated on social media platforms.

In a statement made available to newsmen in Abuja on Monday morning, NAF Director, Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Edward Gabkwet, said, “NAF is not recruiting”.

He warned applicants not to fall prey to fraudsters. Gabkwet insisted that the viral recruitment advertisement did not emanate from the NAF.

He reminded Nigerians that the service recently graduated recruits of Basic Military Training Course 43/2022 on July 8.

According to him, members of the public would be adequately informed whenever NAF is recruiting.

“The public is once again reminded that the recruitment and selection process into the NAF is free and without any form of gratification. Anyone who pays money under any guise does so at his or her own risk.

“Furthermore, the NAF recruitment process is devoid of recruitment agents. Hence, anyone who claims to be operating in such a capacity on behalf of the NAF is a fraudster.

“The NAF wishes to advise prospective applicants to promptly report anyone who solicits payments to the nearest NAF Unit or the Nigeria Police Force,” he said.
