Nigerian Navy Disowns Fake 2026 Batch 39 Recruitment Notice

The Nigerian Navy has disowned a recruitment notice circulating on social media platforms, purportedly announcing the commencement of the Nigerian Navy Recruitment 2026 Batch 39 exercise.

The Navy described the notice as unauthorised, urging members of the public and prospective applicants to disregard it.

In a statement issued by the Director of Naval Information, Captain Abiodun Folorunsho, the Navy cautioned the public against relying on recruitment information obtained from unofficial social media accounts, websites or other unauthorised sources.

According to the statement, all official information concerning Nigerian Navy recruitment, including eligibility requirements, application procedures, timelines and recruitment categories, would be communicated only through authorised Navy channels.

The Navy identified its official recruitment/enlistment website as joinnigeriannavy.navy.mil.ng, while its official corporate website is navy.mil.ng.

It further warned prospective applicants against making payments to individuals, agents or unauthorised platforms in connection with recruitment, stressing that the exercise is free of charge.

“The Nigerian Navy does not authorise third parties to recruit applicants or collect recruitment fees on its behalf,” the statement said.

The Navy reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a transparent and credible recruitment process, adding that accurate and timely information would continue to be disseminated through its official communication channels.
