The Police Service Commission (PSC) has released the names of successful candidates recruited into the Nigeria Police Force as Police Constables following the completion of the nationwide recruitment exercise for 50,000 personnel.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the PSC’s Head of Protocol and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, the commission said candidates who participated in the written examination can check their recruitment status on the official recruitment portal.
The PSC said the portal would be accessible from 12:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 16, 2026, and that successful applicants would also receive notifications through the email addresses and phone numbers used during registration.
Successful candidates are expected to report to their designated police training institutions on dates to be announced for medical examinations and documentation. The commission warned that candidates who fail to report within the stipulated period would be deemed to have declined the offer, while those who do not pass the medical examination would be withdrawn from the training programme.
Applicants are required to report with their training call-up slip, National Identification Number (NIN) slip, Bank Verification Number (BVN) slip, original and photocopies of their credentials, and other documents listed on the recruitment portal.
PSC Chairman, retired Deputy Inspector-General of Police Hashimu Argungu, thanked President Bola Tinubu for approving the recruitment, describing it as part of efforts to strengthen the Nigeria Police Force and improve national security.
