As part of a major initiative to strengthen community policing and enhance internal security nationwide, the Police Service Commission (PSC) has announced the commencement of a recruitment exercise for 50,000 constables into the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

In a public announcement issued on Monday, the Sokoto State Police Command disclosed that the online application portal opened yesterday (December 15, 2025), in line with a presidential directive aimed at expanding the manpower base of the force.

The recruitment exercise, the commission stressed, is entirely free of charge, and applicants are advised to avoid unauthorised individuals or websites.

According to the statement, prospective candidates must be Nigerian citizens by birth, possess a valid National Identification Number (NIN), and be medically, physically and psychologically fit.
