The Army emphasized that it has a formal process for announcing recruitment exercises and urged applicants to trust its official communication channels for accurate information. The Army stated that it would announce the opening of the portal for the 92 Regular Recruitment Intake through its official channels when it is officially launched. This warning follows concerns that scammers may exploit the fake notice to trick job seekers and extort money from them. The Nigerian Army reiterated its dedication to conducting recruitment exercises openly and professionally. The Army also strongly cautioned the public against falling prey to fraudulent recruitment schemes and advised them to verify all recruitment information through its official channels before applying or making any payments.",
