The Police Service Commission, PSC25th, has released the names of successful applicants for the recruitment of 50,000 Police Constables into the Nigeria Police Force.

The announcement, made in a statement signed by Torty Njoku Kalu, Head of Protocol and Public Relations, on Wednesday, July 15, 2026, follows the conclusion of what the Commission described as a “comprehensive, inclusive, equitable and transparent” recruitment exercise.

The exercise was conducted in collaboration with major stakeholders including the Nigeria Police Force, Federal Character Commission, Ministry of Police Affairs, States Career and Counseling Departments, and the Police Community Relations Committee.

PSC advised all candidates who sat for the recent written examination to visit the official recruitment portal: npfapplication.psc.gov.ng to check their status.

The portal will be opened by 12:00am on Thursday, July 16, 2026. 

Successful candidates will also receive notifications via the email addresses and phone numbers they provided during registration.

The successful applicants are expected to report to their designated Police Training Institutions on dates and times to be communicated later for medical examination and documentation.

The Commission warned that candidates who fail to report within the stipulated time will be deemed to have declined the offer. 

It added that those who fail the medical examination to be conducted by the Police Medical Team on resumption will be declared unfit and asked to leave training.

Candidates are to report with the following: 

– Training call-up slip 

– NIN slip and BVN slip 

– Original and photocopies of certificates

– Other documents and items to be listed on the recruitment portal 

The Chairman of the Commission, DIG Hashimu Salihu Argungu (rtd), thanked President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for approving the recruitment of 50,000 constables as part of efforts to strengthen the nation’s security architecture.

DIG Argungu charged the successful candidates to see the opportunity as “a clarion call to serve the nation with dignity, integrity and unwavering commitment to a safe and secured Nigeria.”

The mass recruitment is part of the Federal Government’s plan to address manpower shortages in the Nigeria Police Force and improve policing and community security nationwide.
