The Nigerian Army has officially opened the doors for patriotic citizens to join its ranks through the 91st Regular Recruits Intake (91RRI).
This recruitment drive is specifically designed for both tradesmen and women (those with specific technical skills) and non-tradesmen and women (general duty applicants).
The online registration portal is scheduled to go live on March 30, 2026, and will remain open until May 17, 2026.
Prospective candidates are encouraged to apply early to avoid last-minute technical issues.
To be eligible for this military career, you must be a Nigerian citizen by birth and be completely single.
Your National Identification Number (NIN) and Bank Verification Number (BVN) are mandatory, and the details on these documents must align perfectly with your application.
Physically, men must be at least 1.68m tall, while women must be at least 1.65m.
Age requirements vary: general applicants must be between 18 and 22 years old, while those applying with trade certificates can be up to 26 years old.
You must possess at least four O-Level credits, including English Language, obtained in no more than two sittings.
The application process is entirely digital.
First, visit the official recruitment portal at https://recruitment.army.mil.ng/.
After creating an account with a functional email, you will fill out your personal data, educational background, and upload scanned credentials.
It is vital to print your acknowledgment slip once you submit, as this document is required for the screening exercise taking place in June 2026.
Remember, the Nigerian Army recruitment is free; do not offer money to anyone claiming to provide "slots" or assistance.
Joining the military offers more than just a job; it provides competitive salaries, healthcare for families, and global exposure through international assignments.
Successful candidates will enjoy a guaranteed pension, opportunities for further education, and specialized military training.
Note that there is no computer-based test (CBT) for this intake, and electronic devices are strictly banned at screening centers.
Using fake documents will lead to immediate disqualification and prosecution.
