The Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has refuted claims circulating online suggesting that the service has commenced recruitment for the 2025/2026 Basic Military Training Course (BMTC) and Direct Short Service Commission (DSSC). The NAF described the messages as false, misleading, and designed to defraud unsuspecting members of the public.
This was made known in an official statement signed by the Director of Public Relations and Information, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, who categorically stated that the Nigerian Air Force is not currently conducting any recruitment exercise. He urged the public to disregard such fraudulent messages in their entirety.
According to Air Commodore Ejodame, the Nigerian Air Force recruitment and enlistment processes remain completely free, transparent, and based solely on merit. He reiterated that the NAF does not charge any fee at any stage of its recruitment process and does not engage the services of third parties or agents for enlistment purposes. He assured that whenever a recruitment exercise is to be conducted, it will be officially announced and widely publicised through credible national newspapers, the Nigerian Air Force’s official website, and its verified social media platforms.
He therefore advised members of the public to exercise extreme caution and be wary of unofficial online recruitment advertisements designed to deceive and extort money from innocent applicants.
For accurate and up-to-date information on the Nigerian Air Force, the public is urged to rely only on the NAF’s official communication platforms: https://www.facebook.com/share/1735SmRdMo/, https://x.com/NigAirForce?t=1263ETdBwkuqewt-rSuyIg&s=09, https://www.instagram.com/NigerianAirForce, https://youtube.com/@nigerianairforcehq?feature=shared, https://www.airforce.mil.ng/, and https://www.tiktok.com/@nigerianairforce?_t=ZM-8y6AmN5tpZ7&_r=1.
The Nigerian Air Force reaffirmed its commitment to integrity, transparency, and efficient service delivery to the nation, while projecting air power to safeguard the lives and properties of all Nigerians.
