The Police Service Commission (PSC) has released the names of 50,000 successful applicants recruited into the Nigeria Police Force as Police Constables, marking the conclusion of one of the country’s largest police recruitment exercises.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, the Commission said the recruitment process was conducted in collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force, the Federal Character Commission, the Ministry of Police Affairs, State Career and Counselling Departments, and the Police Community Relations Committee to ensure transparency, fairness and inclusiveness.
The PSC directed all candidates who participated in the recently concluded written examination to log on to the official recruitment portal to check their application status. The portal will become accessible from 12:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 16, 2026.
The Commission also disclosed that successful candidates would receive notifications through the email addresses and telephone numbers submitted during the application process.
According to the PSC, successful applicants are expected to report to their designated Police Training Institutions on dates to be announced for documentation and medical screening.
The Commission warned that candidates who fail to report within the stipulated period would be deemed to have rejected the offer, while those who fail the mandatory medical examination conducted by the Nigeria Police Medical Team would be disqualified from the training programme.
Candidates have been directed to report with their training call-up slips, National Identification Number (NIN) slips, Bank Verification Number (BVN) slips, original and photocopies of their credentials, alongside other required documents listed on the recruitment portal.
Chairman of the Police Service Commission, DIG Hashimu Salihu Argungu (Rtd.), expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for approving the recruitment of 50,000 Police Constables as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture.
Argungu urged the successful recruits to regard their appointment as a call to national service and to discharge their duties with integrity, professionalism and unwavering commitment to protecting lives and property across the country.
