The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has denied recruitment exercise into the agency.
The FAAN said it conducted a recruitment exercise into the Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Service(ARFFS), Aviation Security(AVSEC) and Information Communication Technology departments which had shortage of professional staff.
The exercise it said ended in May 2015 just as it dismissed reports of recruitment exercise in the Authority, published in some sections of both the traditional and social media, as false and misleading.
Yakubu Dati General Manager, Corporate Affairs of FAAN in a statement made available to Oriental News Nigeria advised the public to disregard such information.
The statement clarified that “The last recruitment exercise in the Authority took place between March and May, 2015 to recruit officers into the Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Service(ARFFS), Aviation Security(AVSEC) and Information Communication Technology departments which had shortage of professional staff.
The exercise was concluded in May, 2015.
At the appropriate time, the Authority will invite successful candidates during that exercise, for mandatory training before deployment to various airports across the country”.
Continuing Dati said, “This is moreso because 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”.
