Nigerian Army Not Recruiting DSSC, SSC Now — Spokesperson

The Nigerian Army has alerted Nigerians that it has not commenced the enlistment for both Direct Short Service Commission (DSSC) and Short Service Commission (SSC) for the year 2025.

The Acting Director, Army Public Relations, Lt-Col. Appolonia Anele, stated this in a statement on Saturday while reacting to a fake online advertisement falsely claiming that the “Nigerian Army DSSC/SSC Application Form 2025” is currently available.

She said the “claim is entirely false and misleading.”

According to her, the Nigerian Army has not commenced any recruitment or commissioning exercise for DSSC or SSC for the year.

She, therefore, urged members of the public to disregard the fake advertisement, “as it did not originate from the Nigerian Army.”

“Whenever such recruitment exercises are scheduled to begin, the public will be duly informed through official channels with adequate publicity. The Nigerian Army warns all to be cautious and avoid falling prey to fraudsters who exploit such fake information to deceive and defraud unsuspecting individuals.

“Anyone with information about such fraudulent activities or individuals should promptly report to the appropriate authorities for necessary action,” the first female Army spokesperson added.
