Agency urges public to avoid scam links and rely only on verified platforms for official updates..
The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has cautioned Nigerians to disregard a fake online recruitment advertisement circulating on social media, warning that the agency is not recruiting Aviation Security (AVSEC) personnel.
The alert was issued in a statement signed by the Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Henry Agbebire, on Thursday. He said the misleading advert falsely claimed that FAAN was hiring AVSEC staff through a link purportedly associated with the authority.
FAAN clarified that no recruitment exercise is currently underway, and urged members of the public not to click on the fraudulent link or submit personal information to unidentified sources.
“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.
The authority encouraged Nigerians to remain vigilant, report suspicious websites or messages to relevant agencies, and rely solely on FAAN’s verified communication channels for authentic information.
