The Nigerian Army has opened applications for the Short Service Combatant Commission, SSCC, Course 50/2027. It further stated that prospective applicants are required to visit the official Nigerian Army recruitment portal, http://nashortservice.army.mil.ng, select the SSCC option and carefully follow the application instructions. The Army advised applicants to rely only on information published through its official recruitment channels, noting that the application deadline is Saturday, October 17, 2026. It, however, warned members of the public to disregard any online recruitment portal or announcement purportedly opened before the official publication. Eligible Nigerians should take advantage of the opportunity to join the military and serve the nation,” the statement said.
