The Nigeria Police Force has officially announced that the screening of shortlisted candidates for the recruitment of 50,000 police constables will commence on March 9, 2026, in Oyo State. This initiative is part of a larger recruitment drive aimed at bolstering the police force across the nation, in collaboration with the Police Service Commission. The screening process is set to take place from March 9 to April 18, 2026, and candidates are expected to attend at the designated time on their invitation slips to ensure an orderly evaluation process.

The announcement was made by the Police Public Relations Officer of the Oyo State Police Command, Ayanlade Olayinka, who emphasized the importance of candidates being well-prepared. The screening will be conducted at the Officers’ Mess located within the Oyo State Police Command Headquarters in Eleyele. As the recruitment drive has the potential to significantly impact local policing and community safety, it is crucial for candidates to follow all instructions regarding documentation and schedule adherence.

Furthermore, applicants are encouraged to check the official recruitment portal to confirm their status and print necessary documents before their scheduled screening date. This recruitment effort not only aims to fill critical positions within the police force but also reflects the government’s ongoing commitment to improving public safety and law enforcement capabilities in Nigeria, particularly in the Oyo State region.
