According to the PSC, the participation of these organisations was aimed at guaranteeing fairness, transparency and equal representation throughout the recruitment process.
The Commission directed all candidates who participated in the recently concluded written examination to visit the official police recruitment portal to check their application status.
It stated that the portal, npfapplication.psc.gov.ng, will become accessible from 12:00 a.m. on Thursday, July 16, 2026, for applicants to verify whether they were successful.
Applicants are required to log in using the details they provided during the application process to confirm their recruitment status.

"Successful candidates will also receive email and SMS notifications on the email addresses and phone numbers they provided during the initial application," the statement read.
The Commission explained that the notifications would contain details of the next phase of the recruitment process.
