The Nigerian Army has officially opened applications for the 91 Regular Recruits Intake (91RRI) for tradesmen/women and non-tradesmen/women, inviting interested and qualified Nigerian citizens to register online from March 30 to May 17.
In a public announcement signed by Major General IM Abdullahi, released on Sunday evening, the Army emphasized that recruitment into the service is completely free of charge and must be conducted solely through the official portal at https://recruitment.army.mil.ng.
Applicants are warned that any payment demanded or fake documents submitted will lead to disqualification and prosecution by the police.
Basic entry requirements include being a single Nigerian citizen by birth, possessing a valid National Identity Number (NIN) and Bank Verification Number (BVN) with matching details, being medically, physically, and psychologically fit, having no criminal convictions, and holding at least four credits (including English Language) in not more than two sittings in WASSCE/GCE/NECO/NABTEB.

Applicants must use their state of origin (not residence) and provide a valid Certificate of State of Origin or endorsed birth certificate.
Successful recruits will enjoy career stability with defined promotion criteria, enhanced pay and allowances, access to continuous military and specialized training (local and international), opportunities for further education, comprehensive medical care for personnel and families, pension and gratuity upon retirement, social integration across diverse tribes and religions, and post-service opportunities.
The Army reiterated that all documents will be verified from issuing authorities, and fake submissions will result in handover to the police.
Interested candidates are advised to visit https://recruitment.army.mil.ng for full guidelines, application process, and updates, as no physical or third-party applications will be accepted.
The exercise aims to strengthen the force in preserving Nigeria’s sovereignty and te
