The NAF Director of Public Relations and Information, Ehimen Ejodame, made this known via a statement issued on Thursday, July 17, 2025.

Ejodame, who said no such recruitment exercise is currently ongoing, urged the public to disregard those messages in their entirety.

Ejodame stated: “We wish to remind the general public that the Nigerian Air Force recruitment and enlistment processes are free, transparent, and merit-based.

“The NAF does not charge any fee at any stage of its recruitment exercise, and does not engage third parties or agents for enlistment.

“Whenever a recruitment exercise is to be conducted, it will be officially announced and widely publicised through credible national dailies, the NAF official website, and its verified social media platforms.

“We therefore urge members of the public to be wary of online scams and exercise extreme caution when coming across unofficial recruitment advertisements.”

Ejodame also enjoined the public to always rely on the Force’s official social media handles for accurate and up-to-date information on its activities.
