The Nigerian Army has released the list of candidates shortlisted for the Short Service Combatant Commission Course 49/2026 Selection Board.
In a statement signed by the Military Secretary (Army) on Monday, the Army said the full list of successful applicants is now available on its recruitment portal: recruitment.army.mil.ng.
Shortlisted candidates are expected to report to the Nigerian Defence Academy, Ribadu Campus, Kaduna State, on December 1, 2025.
“The shortlisted candidates are to report to the Nigerian Defence Academy Ribadu Campus (Old Site), Kaduna State on 1 December 2025.
“Candidates are advised to be in Kaduna on 30 November 2025 and report to the Selection Board venue between 6 am 11 am on 1 December 2025,” the statement partly read.
The Army warned that “candidates who arrive after 11am on 1 December 2025 will be automatically disqualified.”
Candidates must present original and photocopies of all academic and professional certificates, including NYSC discharge or exemption certificates, a valid birth certificate, certificate of state of origin, BVN printout, NIN slip, and completed forms from the SSCC portal.
They are also required to bring writing materials, blue shorts, white T-shirts, white canvas shoes, toiletries, beddings, full-size coloured photographs, and scratch cards for checking WAEC or NECO results.
Parents or guardians must provide a “duly signed Letter of Consent” issued by a recognised court of law, confirming they will not seek compensation for any injury or death during the exercise.
The selection process will include document verification, physical and medical tests, academic assessments, and an oral interview. The Army noted that any alteration on documents will render them invalid.
Candidates will be accommodated and fed during the exercise but must cover their own transportation. The use of private vehicles and visits from outsiders are not allowed during the exercise.
“A high standard of discipline is expected from all candidates. Candidates who violate any instruction during the Selection Board will be disqualified.
“Due to the military nature of the Exercise, the Nigerian Army shall not be liable for any injuries/deaths recorded in the course of the Selection Board,” the statement concluded.
