The Police Service Commission (PSC) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) will conduct written examinations for Police Constable applicants from 28 to 30 April 2026. The test will be held at Osun State University, Oke-Baale, Osogbo, for applicants from Osun State. Only candidates who passed the physical and credentials screening are eligible to participate.
Osun State Police Command's Public Relations Officer, CSP Abiodun Ojelabi, announced the details in a press release issued on Saturday in Osogbo. Qualified applicants must log on to www.npfapplication.psc.gov.ng from Friday 24 April 2026 to print their Examination Invitation Card, which contains the specific date, time, and venue.
Applicants initially scheduled for 27 April 2026 should recheck the website due to a date adjustment. Those who have not received messages are also advised to check the portal to print their invitation cards. Required items for the exam include a pen, National Identification Number (NIN) slip with a clear photograph, printed Examination Invitation Card, and a specified dress code: white shorts, white T-shirt, and white canvas shoes.
The PSC reiterated that the recruitment process is free of charge and warned against job scams, financial inducements, or racketeering, saying such acts will attract legal action.
The police list a dress code down to white canvas shoes but expect applicants to navigate last-minute date changes online without support. Osun candidates who missed the initial schedule due to the adjustment now risk disqualification through no fault of their own. The requirement to print invitation cards from a single portal raises fairness concerns for applicants with limited internet access. This process may test digital access more than police readiness.
