The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has warned members of the public against fraudulent recruitment schemes involving individuals impersonating the agency and issuing fake recruitment and appointment letters.
NAMA raised the alarm in a statement signed by its Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Abdullahi Musa, expressing serious concern over the activities of what it described as “unscrupulous individuals.”
According to the agency, the fraudulent schemes are designed to exploit unsuspecting job seekers while compromising NAMA’s integrity and corporate identity.
NAMA clarified that it is not currently conducting any recruitment exercise.
The agency said any individual, group or organisation claiming to recruit, facilitate employment or issue appointment letters on behalf of NAMA is acting without its knowledge, approval or authorisation.
It urged members of the public to remain vigilant and avoid making payments, submitting sensitive personal information or entering into transactions with anyone claiming to offer employment opportunities on behalf of the agency.
NAMA advised job seekers to independently verify any recruitment notice, employment communication or appointment letter purportedly issued by the agency through its recognised official channels before taking any action.
The agency also warned the public to disregard unofficial correspondence, social media messages and representations from unauthorised intermediaries claiming to facilitate employment with NAMA.
“NAMA does not authorise individuals or third parties to solicit money or other consideration in exchange for employment,” the agency stated.
It urged anyone who suspects impersonation or fraudulent representation to report the matter to the appropriate authorities.
NAMA further stated that it would not accept responsibility for losses or consequences arising from dealings with fraudsters or unauthorised persons falsely claiming to represent the agency.
The warning comes as fraudulent recruitment schemes continue to target job seekers through fake appointment letters, social media messages and requests for payment in exchange for employment opportunities.
