The Police Service Commission PSC and the Nigeria Police Force NPF on Monday, announced a two-week extension for the ongoing recruitment of 50,000 Constables.
AFRESH247 gathered that the application portal which was opened on 15th December, 2025 has now been extended to close on 8th February, 2026.
The Head, Protocols and Public Affairs Torty Kalu, in Abuja, in a statement said the decision followed the receipt of over 400,000 applications and a review showing significant disparities in state participation.
While some states like Adamawa, Benue, and Kaduna have high application numbers, states such as Lagos, Ogun, Bayelsa, Ebonyi, and Anambra have notably lower submissions.
The extension of time he stated 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.
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.
The statement however, reiterated the Police Service Commission (PSC) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) commitment to a fair and transparent recruitment process.
