The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has issued a statement warning the public to disregard a fake online aviation recruitment advertisement.
In the statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Mr Henry Agbebire, the agency on Thursday it said the advert claimed Aviation Security (AVSEC) personnel were being recruited through a link associated with the agency.
It noted that no AVSEC recruitment was underway and that the public should not click on the link or provide any personal information to unknown sources.
The authority urged Nigerians to remain vigilant, report suspicious messages or websites to the appropriate authorities, and rely only on FAAN’s verified channels for authentic information.
“The attention of the @FAAN_Official has been drawn to a recruitment advertisement circulating online, claiming that Aviation Security (AVSEC) personnel are being recruited through a link purportedly associated with FAAN.
“We wish to categorically state that FAAN is not conducting any AVSEC recruitment at this time. The advertisement in circulation, including the link attached to it, is fake, misleading, and has no connection whatsoever with FAAN,” the statement read in part.
