The Police Service Commission, PSC, and Nigeria Police Force, NPF, have announced a two-weeks extension for the ongoing recruitment of 50,000 police constables across the country.
The application portal which opened on December 15, 2025 will now be closed on February 8, 2026, following the receipt of over 400,000 applications and a review showing significant disparities in state participations.
While some states like Adamawa, Benue, and Kaduna have high application numbers, states like Lagos, Ogun, Bayelsa, Ebonyi, and Anambra have notably lower submissions.
According to a statement signed by the
Head, Protocol and Public Affairs, Police Service Commission, Torty Njoku Kalu,
"The extension aims to ensure equitable representation nationwide. All eligible Nigerians, particularly from above-mentioned states with fewer applications, are strongly encouraged to apply via the official portal: www.npfapplication.psc.gov.ng" even as
"State governments, local government councils, sociocultural organizations, religious bodies, community leaders, and other stakeholders are strongly encouraged to mobilize and sensitize eligible citizens within their jurisdictions to apply before the new deadline."
Kalu added that both "the PSC and NPF reaffirm their commitment to a fair and transparent recruitment process."
