Is the Nigerian Air Force 2026 Shortlist Out?
The Nigerian Air Force shortlist contains the names of candidates who have been successfully selected to move to the next stage of the recruitment process.

What If Your Name Is Not on the List?
If your name does not appear on the shortlist, please don’t panic. There are several reasons this can happen — including incomplete application, wrong information submitted, or simply the high volume of applicants versus available slots.
Documents Required for the Next Stage
If you find your name on the Nigerian Air Force 2026 shortlist, congratulations! You are to prepare for the next stage of screening, which may include document verification, physical assessment, and interview sessions.

Ensure that all your documents are neatly arranged and placed in a waterproof folder to avoid getting damage.
What to Do After Confirming Your Name
Once you confirm your name on the shortlist, take these steps immediately:
Begin physical preparation — The NAF screening involves a physical fitness assessment. Start exercising daily. Focus on running, push-ups, sit-ups, and general endurance.
Gather your documents — Bring originals and photocopies of your academic certificates, NYSC Discharge Certificate, valid ID, birth certificate, certificate of origin, and passport photographs to the screening venue.
Print your compulsory forms — You must present your Acknowledgment Form, Attestation Form signed by a Military Officer or LGA Chairman, and Local Government Indigeneship Form at the screening.
Confirm your screening date and venue — Candidates who have successfully found their names on the shortlist are required to report for a mandatory screening exercise that will be held nationwide, including all 36 states and the FCT. If a candidate fails to attend the screening, they will be disqualified from the recruitment process.
