The Police Service Commission (PSC) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) have extended the ongoing recruitment of 50,000 Police Constables by two weeks.
The Commission’s Head of Protocol and Public Affairs, Torty Njoku Kalu, disclosed this in a statement on Monday, noting that the application portal, which opened on December 15, 2025, will now close on February 8, 2026.
Kalu said that the decision followed the receipt of over 400,000 applications and a review that revealed 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,” he noted.
He explained that the extension was aimed at ensuring equitable representation across the country and urged eligible Nigerians, particularly those from the states with fewer applications, to apply through the official portal at www.npfapplication.psc.gov.ng.
Kalu also called on state governments, local government councils, sociocultural organisations, religious bodies, community leaders, and other stakeholders to mobilise and sensitise eligible citizens within their jurisdictions to apply before the new deadline.
He reiterated the commitment of the Commission and the Police to a fair and transparent recruitment process.
