NDLEA Closing Date 2025

There is no closing date yet for 2025 as NDLEA recruitment is yet to commence.

However, all candidates must make sure to submit all applications early online once the portal is open. Candidates are reminded by the Director Media and Advocacy For Management to download and complete referee forms, which must be submitted during screening and interviews.

Make sure to submit your application before the deadline. Also, only use the official ortal to avoid disqualification.
