The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has made it clear that it is not recruiting staff now, putting a lie to media reports that it is carrying out a recruitment exercise
The General Manager, Corporate Affairs of the authority, Yakubu Dati, advised members of the public, in a statement, to disregard such recruitment rumour.
He said that the last recruitment exercise took place between March and May, 2015 and that it was aimed at recruiting officers into the Airport Rescue and Fire Fighting Service (ARFFS), Aviation Security (AVSEC) and Information Communication Technology departments.
According to Dati, these departments had shortage of professional staff and the recruitment exercise was concluded in May 2015, adding that very soon, the authority will invite candidates successful in the 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”
Dati said that it had come to the organization’s notice that fraudulent recruitment agents and questionable recruitment websites were deceiving people and that in some cases, “these people are 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.” [myad]
