The Nigerian Navy has warned members of the public against fake Direct Short Service Commission recruitment notices circulating on social media.

The Director of Naval Information, Captain Abi Folorunsho, gave the warning in a statement posted on his X handle on Tuesday.

Folorunsho said the notices, which claim to advertise openings for DSSC Course 30 and list qualifications across medical, engineering, legal, ICT and other fields, were not issued by the Nigerian Navy, stressing that the Navy’s DSSC recruitment exercise had not commenced.

“The attached DSSC notices are not from the Nigerian Navy and have been circulating all over social media.

“The Nigerian Navy DSSC recruitment is not out, and when it is, the information will be posted on my page, the official Nigerian Navy website, and official social media pages. Please do not let anyone scam you,” he said.

The warning came a day after the Navy announced the commencement of its 2026 Batch 39 recruitment for the Nigerian Navy Basic Training School.

The Navy had said the Batch 39 recruitment exercise would run from October 2 to October 31, 2026, with eligible applicants required to apply through its official recruitment portal.

It also warned applicants that the recruitment process was free and cautioned them against making payments to anyone claiming to facilitate their recruitment.

The Navy said eligible applicants must be Nigerian citizens by birth, possess a National Identification Number and meet the specified educational, age, physical and medical requirements.

The DSSC recruitment referred to in Folorunsho’s warning is separate from the Batch 39 Basic Training School recruitment.
