Nigerian Navy Alerts Public on Fake DSSC Recruitment Notices

The Nigerian Navy has cautioned the public about fraudulent Direct Short Service Commission (DSSC) recruitment notices that are being disseminated on social media. Captain Abi Folorunsho, the Director of Naval Information, stated that these notices, which falsely advertise openings for DSSC Course 30 across various fields such as medical, engineering, legal, and ICT, are not legitimate.

He emphasized that the Navy's DSSC recruitment exercise has not started and that any official announcements will be made through his social media page, the official Nigerian Navy website, and other authorized channels. Additionally, the Navy announced that its Batch 39 recruitment exercise will take place from October 2 to October 31, 2026, and urged applicants to apply only through the official recruitment portal.

The Navy also reminded potential applicants that the recruitment process is free and warned against any payments to individuals claiming to facilitate recruitment. Eligible applicants must be Nigerian citizens by birth and meet specific educational, age, physical, and medical requirements.
