JUST IN: Nigerian Navy Speaks On ‘Recruitment’

The Nigerian Navy (NN) has stated that it is currently not accepting applications for the Direct Short Service Commission (DSSC) and Officer Cadre positions.

In a statement released on Tuesday, Adedotun Ayo-Vaughan, the Director of Naval Information, emphasized the need for this clarification. This comes in response to an announcement made by a Nigerian job listing website, claiming recruitment into various cadres of the navy.

Ayo-Vaughan further stated that the commencement of enlistment exercises will be officially announced by the navy through its authorized channels, such as the official website or other reputable platforms.

He advised Nigerians to exercise caution and be vigilant, as there are fraudulent individuals posing as job listing websites who aim to deceive unsuspecting applicants.

“The attention of the Naval Headquarters has been drawn to a fraudulent online advertisement on the enlistment exercise for Direct Short Service Commission (DSSC) into the Nigerian Navy (NN) captioned: Nigerian Navy DSSC Recruitment 2023/2024 Application Form Portal/www.joinnigerianavy.com,” the statement reads.

“The false publication advised interested applicants to visit https://www.topnigerianjobs.com/nigeria-dssc-recruitment/ claiming that the Nigerian Navy DSSC Recruitment 2023 portal is currently open for online application. The criminals also stated that applicants will be intimated on the opening and closing dates for the 2023/2024 Nigerian Navy DSSC Recruitment.

“It is important to note that the NN did not announce any DSSC Enlistment Exercise neither is the Service conducting any form of enlistment for the NN officer cadre. For the avoidance of doubt, the NN will usually notify the public through its official website www.nigeriannavy.mil.ng and other credible verifiable platforms including mainstream media for the advertisement of such enlistment exercises.

“Accordingly, members of the public especially would-be applicants are strongly advised to always verify information from the NN official website stated above and other official NN social media handles to avoid falling prey to fraudsters.”
