The Nigerian Airspace Management Agency (NAMA) has warned the public against fake recruitment and appointment letters being issued by fraudsters impersonating the agency.
NAMA, in a statement signed by its Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Dr Abdullahi Musa, said it was concerned about the activities of individuals exploiting unsuspecting job seekers in the name of the agency.
The agency stressed that it is not currently conducting any recruitment exercise, warning that anyone claiming to recruit or facilitate employment with NAMA is acting without its authorisation.
NAMA urged members of the public not to make payments, submit sensitive personal information or enter into transactions with individuals claiming to offer jobs on behalf of the agency.
It advised job seekers to independently verify any recruitment notice, employment communication or appointment letter purportedly issued by NAMA through the agency’s recognised official channels before taking any action.
The agency also warned the public to disregard unofficial correspondence, social media messages and representations by unauthorised intermediaries.
“NAMA does not authorise individuals or third parties to solicit money or other consideration in exchange for employment,” the statement said.
The agency urged anyone who encounters suspected cases of impersonation or fraudulent representation to report them to the appropriate authorities.
NAMA said it would not accept responsibility for losses or consequences arising from dealings with fraudsters or unauthorised persons falsely claiming to represent the agency.
The agency reaffirmed its commitment to transparency, institutional integrity and protecting the public from fraudulent activities.
