Nigerian Army Provides Guidelines for Regular

potential recruits/applicants of 78 Regular Recruit Intake by
requesting them for monetary inducement in return for enlistment
into the NA.

In the light of this menace, the NA wishes to again alert and
inform the public that selection into the service is free (without
any charges or inducement) from the point of application online
through the NA portal, – to the last stage of the selection process
which are in phases.

The phases range from credential screening, medical test,
physical and mental test, aptitude test and to oral interview.

The selection into the Army is also carried out in line with the
NA policy and guidelines on recruitment as contained in the
