The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria, FAAN, has stated that recent reports of recruitment exercise by the authority published in some traditional and social media are false, misleading and therefore should be disregarded.

Yakubu Dati, general manager, corporate affairs, FAAN, noted that the last recruitment exercise carried out by the authority took place in March and ended in May 2015 and officers were recruited into the Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Service, ARFFS, Aviation Security, AVSEC, and Information Communication Technology departments, which had shortage of professional staff. “At the appropriate time, the Authority will invite successful candidates during that exercise, for mandatory training before deployment to various airports across the country. We wish to emphasize that no recruitment exercise is taking place in FAAN at the moment. More so it has come to our notice that fraudulent recruitment agents and questionable recruitment websites are deceiving and in some cases, duping unsuspecting applicants by giving out misleading information about an ongoing recruitment exercise in FAAN. Please, be informed that the only and authentic website that belongs to the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria is www.faan.gov.ng,” Dati said.
