The Police Service Commission (PSC), in collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), has officially launched a groundbreaking recruitment drive to enlist 50,000 constables, as directed by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

This ambitious initiative, aimed at bolstering community policing and addressing the nation’s escalating security challenges, will open its online application portal on Monday, December 15, 2025, and run until Sunday, January 25, 2026.
The recruitment detailed on Police Service Commission handle invites eligible Nigerian citizens to apply through the dedicated portal at www.npfapplication.psc.gov.ng.
General duty applicants must possess a minimum of five credits in SSCE/GCE Ordinary Level (including English Language and Mathematics) in not more than two sittings, be aged between 18 and 25, and meet specific height requirements (1.67m for males, 1.64m for females).
Specialist roles, including drivers, medical assistants, and artisans, require four credits, three years of relevant experience, and an age limit of 18 to 28. All candidates must be medically, physically, and psychologically fit.
