The Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) has commenced its 2026 nationwide recruitment exercise, offering employment opportunities to qualified Nigerians across various educational levels and professional backgrounds.
According to recruitment information released through the FRSC recruitment portal (www.recruitment.frsc.gov.ng), applications are expected to open on July 3, 2026, and close on August 24, 2026. Interested candidates are advised to complete their applications before the deadline and ensure they meet all eligibility requirements.
The recruitment exercise covers four major cadres, including positions for university graduates, Higher National Diploma (HND) holders, National Diploma (ND) and Nigeria Certificate in Education (NCE) holders, as well as Senior Secondary School Certificate Examination (SSCE) holders.
Under the officer cadre, applicants must possess a bachelor’s degree with a minimum of Second Class Lower division and provide evidence of National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) completion or exemption. HND holders are eligible for the Assistant Corps Commander cadre, while ND and NCE holders may apply for the Assistant Corps Inspector cadre. SSCE holders can apply for Road Marshal Assistant positions, which form a significant part of the Corps’ operational workforce.
The FRSC stated that applicants must be Nigerian citizens between the ages of 18 and 35, possess a valid National Identification Number (NIN), and meet prescribed physical and medical fitness standards. Male applicants are required to have a minimum height of 1.69 metres, while female applicants must be at least 1.65 metres tall.
Prospective candidates are also expected to have a clean criminal record and be willing to serve in any part of the country if selected. The agency emphasized that multiple applications will lead to automatic disqualification.
Applicants are required to prepare relevant documents, including educational certificates, birth certificates, means of identification, passport photographs, and proof of state of origin before commencing the online registration process.
The recruitment process will involve four stages: online application, shortlisting, computer-based testing and physical verification, followed by training for successful candidates. Those who complete the training programme will be deployed to various FRSC commands across the country.
The FRSC reiterated that the recruitment exercise is entirely free and warned applicants against paying money to individuals or groups claiming to offer recruitment assistance. Candidates were advised to use only the official recruitment portal for registration and information.
