NUC Recruitment Portal Closed, Last Application in 2025

The National Universities Commission (NUC), established in 1962 and made a statutory body in 1974, is Nigeria's federal regulatory body for universities. It is headquartered in Abuja and operates under a Governing Council, with Professor Abdullahi Yusufu Ribadu serving as Executive Secretary since December 2024.

As of October 2026, the NUC has closed its recruitment portal, with the most recent application round for officer, secretarial, clerical, and technical roles occurring in late September 2025. No shortlist or screening date has been announced for that exercise, and applicants are advised to keep their registered email and phone number active.

The NUC warns against third-party sites advertising recruitment for 2026/2027, stating that any new recruitment will be officially announced and conducted through their careers portal. The application process is entirely online, requiring candidates to prepare necessary documents before applying.
