The Navy’s recruitment portal lists November 21 as the date for aptitude tests and written examinations at designated centres nationwide. Only shortlisted applicants will be invited to participate in this stage.
Although applicants are waiting for the shortlist, the Navy has not stated a specific date for its publication. Candidates should avoid treating social media claims or unofficial lists as confirmation that the names have been released.
The recruitment exercise opened on October 2 and closed on October 31, 2026. Applicants are advised to keep their registration details available and regularly monitor the portal for new updates, shortlist information and examination slips.
The next stage is basic military training, which the Navy’s timetable places in the first quarter of 2027. Candidates who complete the aptitude test and subsequent selection requirements will receive instructions on screening and reporting for training.
Applicants should remember that Nigerian Navy recruitment is free. No agent or individual can guarantee shortlisting or enlistment in exchange for payment. Any request for money should be treated with caution.
