Venue: Cenotaph, Cabinet Road, Government House, Asaba, Delta State.
Screening period: November 17 to December 1, 2026.

Candidates must understand that the Nigerian Army screening exercise is organised according to applicants’ states of origin.

Applicants are advised to confirm the venue and reporting instructions on the official Army recruitment portal before travelling.

Candidates must not belong to any cult, secret society or unlawful fraternity.
Anyone discovered presenting forged certificates or falsified information risks disqualification from the recruitment exercise.

- Certificate of state of origin.
- Local Government Area identification or certification.
- Police clearance or certification, where required.

- Shortlist confirmation.
- Recruitment slots.
- Screening assistance.
- Name replacement or correction through unofficial channels.
- Guaranteed recruitment.
Candidates should also avoid downloading suspicious recruitment documents or providing personal information through unofficial websites.
