The Police Service Commission (PSC) has announced the release of names of successful applicants in the ongoing recruitment exercise for 50,000 Police Constables into the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
The Commission disclosed that the successful completion of the recruitment process followed a comprehensive, transparent, inclusive and equitable exercise conducted in collaboration with key stakeholders, including the Nigeria Police Force, the Federal Character Commission, the Ministry of Police Affairs, State Career and Counselling Departments, and the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC).
In a statement issued by the Head of Protocol and Public Relations of the PSC, Mr. Torty Njoku Kalu, candidates who participated in the recently concluded written examination were advised to visit the official recruitment portal at npfapplication.psc.gov.ng to verify their recruitment status.
According to the Commission, the portal will become accessible from 12:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 16, 2026.
The PSC further stated that successful applicants would also receive notifications through emails and text messages sent to the contact details they provided during the application process.
The selected candidates are expected to report to their designated Police Training Institutions on dates and times that will be communicated subsequently for medical screening and documentation exercises.
The Commission warned that candidates who fail to report within the stipulated period would be deemed to have rejected the offer of appointment. It also noted that applicants who do not pass the mandatory medical examination to be conducted by the Police Medical Team upon resumption for training would be declared medically unfit and subsequently disqualified from the exercise.
Successful candidates have been directed to report with their training call-up slips, National Identification Number (NIN) slips, Bank Verification Number (BVN) slips, original copies and photocopies of their academic certificates, alongside other required documents and items that will be specified on the recruitment portal.
Chairman of the Police Service Commission, retired Deputy Inspector-General of Police, DIG Hashimu Salihu Argungu, expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for approving the recruitment of 50,000 police constables, describing the initiative as a significant intervention aimed at reinforcing the country’s security architecture.
Argungu urged the successful candidates to regard their enlistment into the Nigeria Police Force as a national call to duty, stressing the need for discipline, integrity and professionalism in the discharge of their responsibilities.
He charged the recruits to serve with dedication and unwavering commitment towards building a safer and more secure Nigeria, noting that the expansion of police manpower is expected to improve law enforcement capacity, enhance community policing and address growing security challenges across the federation.
