Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has warned Nigerians to beware of fake recruitment and appointment letters issued to unsuspecting members of the public.

In an official statement issued Tuesday, signed by the NAMA’s Director, Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Dr Abdullahi Musa, the agency stated that it views this disturbing development with serious concern, particularly as these fraudulent schemes are calculated to exploit innocent job seekers and compromise the integrity and corporate identity of the agency.

“For the avoidance of doubt, NAMA is not currently conducting any recruitment exercise. Accordingly, any individual, group or organisation claiming to recruit, facilitate employment or issue appointment letters on behalf of NAMA is acting without the knowledge, approval or authorisation of the agency”.

The aviation agency further advised members of the public to exercise utmost vigilance and refrain from making payments, submitting sensitive personal information or entering into transactions with persons purporting to offer employment opportunities on behalf of NAMA.

“Any recruitment notice, employment communication or appointment letter purportedly emanating from the agency should be independently verified through NAMA’s recognised official channels before any action is taken. The public is particularly advised to disregard unofficial correspondence, social media messages and representations by unauthorised intermediaries”.

According to the statement, NAMA does not authorise individuals or third parties to solicit money or other consideration in exchange for employment, urging the public to report suspected cases of impersonation or fraudulent representation to the appropriate authorities.

“The agency will not accept responsibility for losses or consequences arising from dealings with fraudsters or unauthorised persons falsely claiming to act on its behalf,” NAMA added.
