Nigerian Air Force (NAF) has debunked circulating advertisements claiming recruitment for the 2025/2026 Basic Military Training Course (BMTC) and Direct Short Service Commission (DSSC), labeling them as fraudulent.
In a statement issued on Thursday, Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information, clarified that no such recruitment exercise is currently underway.
“We wish to inform the public that the Nigerian Air Force has not commenced any recruitment for the 2025/2026 BMTC or DSSC,” Ejodame stated.

Emphasizing the NAF’s commitment to transparency, he added, “Our recruitment and enlistment processes are free, transparent, and merit-based.
The NAF does not charge any fees at any stage, nor do we engage third parties or agents for enlistment.”
Ejodame advised the public to rely solely on official NAF channels for accurate information.
“Recruitment exercises will be announced through credible national dailies, our official website, and verified social media platforms,” he said, listing the NAF’s official communication channels as:
