DSSC Course 30: Navy Disowns Circulating Recruitment Notices
The Nigerian Navy has warned members of the public against fake Direct Short Service Commission recruitment notices circulating on social media, stressing that its DSSC recruitment exercise has not yet commenced. The Director of Naval Information, Captain Abi Folorunsho, issued the warning in a statement posted on his X handle on Tuesday. Folorunsho said the circulating notices, which claim to advertise openings for DSSC Course 30 across medical, engineering, legal, ICT and other fields, were not issued by the Nigerian Navy. He urged prospective applicants not to fall victim to fraudsters, adding that official information about the recruitment would be published on his page, the Navy’s official website and its verified social media platforms. The Navy said the recruitment, when opened, will be available to eligible Nigerians by birth who have a National Identification Number and meet the required educational, age, physical and medical conditions.
According to the recruitment guidelines, applicants must meet minimum height requirements of 1.69 metres for males and 1.65 metres for females, while also being medically, psychologically and physically fit and having no previous criminal conviction. Applicants with O’Level qualifications must be between 18 and 22 years as of December 31, 2026, and have at least five credits, including Mathematics and English Language, in not more than two sittings. Separate age and qualification requirements apply to candidates with OND and NCE certificates, tradesmen, medical professionals and sportsmen and women. The Navy said successful applicants will be required to print their acknowledgement, parent or guardian consent, Local Government attestation and guarantor’s certification forms after completing the online application. It added that examination dates and venues would be communicated to applicants in due course, while interested candidates should obtain further information from the official recruitment portal when the application opens on October 2. The Navy also warned that only one valid application is permitted, with multiple applications leading to disqualification, and applicants must be able to communicate in basic English.
