“The official website for Nigerian Navy recruitment or enlistment is http://www.joinnigeriannavy.navy.mil.ng, and the official website remains https://navy.mil.ng.

“Members of the public are strongly advised against making payments to individuals, agents, or unauthorised platforms related to Nigerian Navy recruitment, as the exercise is free of charge.

“The Nigerian Navy remains committed to maintaining a transparent and credible recruitment process and will continue to provide timely and accurate information through its official communication channels.
