Nigeria Navy Debunks Recruitment News, Cautions Job Seekers Against Scammers
The Nigerian Navy says its attention
has been drawn to a message circulating on social media groups which states that Nigerian Navy Reference Hospital is conducting Recruitment for 2023, hence the message called on interested and eligible candidates to submit their written application letter and other relevant credentials to Naval Headquarters, Abuja (Attention: The Director of Naval Medical Services).
A Press statement signed by the Nigerian Naval Director of Information, Commodore AO Ayo-Vaughan, also informed that the fake message further advised applicants to include contact phone numbers and addresses of 3 referees, one of whom must be from the applicant’s institution.
In view of this, the Nigerian Navy said that for the avoidance of doubt, there is no such recruitment by the Nigerian Navy Medical Services.
It warned that It is an attempt to mislead and possibly defraud innocent and unsuspecting members of the public.
The release cautioned members of the public to be careful so as not be defrauded by criminals and fraudsters behind the false recruitment exercise.
Ayo-Vaughan explained that the Nigerian Navy’s Recruitment exercises are duly publicized and announced on both traditional and social media, and advised the general public to disregard the false and fake message.
