The Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN) has warned Nigerians about a fake "Letter of Provisional Offer of Employment" being distributed by unknown individuals who are falsely claiming to act on behalf of the authority.
FAAN, in a statement shared through its official X account @FAAN_Official, said the letters are fraudulent and that the authority has no connection to them whatsoever.

The organisation was clear that no recruitment exercise is currently ongoing under its supervision.
FAAN distances itself from fake letters
The authority said members of the public should not make any payments, hand over personal information, or engage in any way with persons presenting these offers.
Nigerians have frequently fallen victim to employment scams of this nature, where fraudsters use official-looking documents to collect money or sensitive data from job seekers.
FAAN urged the public to remain alert and to verify any information purportedly coming from the authority before taking action.
The statement added that any genuine recruitment activity will be announced exclusively through FAAN's official communication channels.
How to stay safe
Job seekers are advised to treat any unsolicited employment offer with caution, particularly those that request upfront payments or sensitive personal details as a condition of employment. Legitimate government agencies in Nigeria do not charge applicants fees during recruitment.
Anyone who has already received such a letter or made contact with individuals distributing it is encouraged to report the matter to the appropriate authorities.
