About NDLEA Recruitment 2024
Before proceeding with the application, it should be stated that during the recruitment process, each candidate will be required to submit their certificates. Any certificates attained after this initial submission will not be considered for promotion within the agency.

The recruitment drive includes opportunities for both entry-level positions at the NDLEA Academy located in Kotton Rikus, Jos, Plateau State, and specialized roles in administrative and support functions. Examples of jobs that can be offered include an accountant, an information and communications technology officer, an administrative assistant, a human resource officer, a communications specialist, a lawyer, and an officer in charge of finance.
