The NAQS Shortlist Portal 2026 is where applicants for the Nigeria Agricultural Quarantine Service recruitment exercise can monitor their application status and access updates concerning the release of shortlisted candidates.
The NAQS recruitment exercise covers vacancies under the Superintendent, Inspectorate, and Assistant cadres. Applicants who submitted their applications should continue checking the official portal and verified NAQS communication channels for the latest shortlist update.
The official recruitment portal is https://recruitment.naqs.gov.ng
Applicants should use the portal to check for any new recruitment status update once the shortlist is officially released.
If the portal provides a shortlist or applicant-status feature, candidates should log in with the details used when submitting their applications and follow the instructions displayed on their dashboard.
