Candidates who successfully passed the Nigerian Air Force’s December 2025 aptitude test are set to proceed to the final stage of the recruitment process: the Selection Board Interview for Basic Military Training Course (BMTC) 46/2025.
The announcement was made on Wednesday in a statement issued by Air Commodore Ehimen Ejodame, Director of Public Relations and Information at NAF Headquarters.
“The Nigerian Air Force hereby notifies the general public that candidates who were successful in the Zonal General Aptitude Test conducted across 15 NAF bases on 5 December 2025 are invited to attend the Selection Board Interview for Trades and Non-Tradesmen and Women into BMTC 46/2025,” the statement read.

According to the statement, the interview exercise will take place at the NAF Base in Kaduna from 27 April to 13 June 2026.
The Air Force stressed strict adherence to the assigned batch schedule published on the portal, noting that attendance is contingent on the designated reporting dates. “All shortlisted candidates are required to report strictly in accordance with their assigned batch schedule. Candidates who fail to report on their designated dates will forfeit the opportunity to participate in the Selection Board Interview,” it stated.
Reinforcing transparency in its hiring process, the NAF reiterated that recruitment into the service is entirely free of charge. “The Nigerian Air Force wishes to emphasise that the entire recruitment process is completely free of charge, and candidates are strongly advised not to make any payment at any stage of the exercise,” the statement added.
The December 2025 aptitude test attracted more than 20,000 applicants across 15 centres nationwide, including Kano, Enugu, Maiduguri, and Ikeja. The Air Force noted that the geographical spread of centres was designed to promote fairness and equitable access for candidates from all regions.
Speaking on the organisation’s recruitment philosophy, Ejodamestated: “The Nigerian Air Force remains firmly committed to recruiting the best candidates by merit, as the quality of our personnel is fundamental to operational effectiveness and the successful execution of our constitutional mandate.
