Read Time:1 Minute, 48 Second
The Police Service Commission has started a national recruitment drive to hire 50,000 Constables for the Nigeria Police Force. This is part of a big effort to improve community policing and make the country safer.
On Monday, the Sokoto State Police Command said that the online application process began today, December 15, 2025, following a directive from the President to increase the number of officers in the Force.
The Commission said the recruitment is free, and warned people to be careful and not follow anyone or use websites that are not official.
The statement also said that applicants must be Nigerian by birth, have a valid National Identification Number (NIN), and be healthy in mind and body.
“Applicants must also be free from any criminal conviction or financial embarrassment and meet all other requirements outlined on the official recruitment portal.
“The recruitment covers two cadres: General Duty and Specialists. For the General Duty cadre, applicants must be between 18 and 25 years, possess a minimum of five credits in WAEC, SSCE or NECO (in not more than two sittings), including English Language and Mathematics, and meet the required height of 1.67 metres for males and 1.64 metres for females.
“Specialists, on the other hand, must be between 18 and 28 years, have at least four relevant credits, and possess recognised qualifications or trade test certificates with a minimum of three years’ practical experience in fields such as medical services, ICT, engineering, driving and motor mechanics,” the statement said.
The PSC said the application website will stay open for six weeks and will close at 11:59 pm on Sunday, January 25, 2026. Only people who are interested and qualified can apply through the official website at npfapplication.psc.gov.ng. They can’t apply more than once or try to change the outcome, because that will lead to them being removed from the process right away.
The Sokoto State Police Command asked eligible Nigerians to use this chance to work for the country and help make security better.
They also promised that the hiring process will be fair and based on ability.
