PSC unveils 50,000 successful police constable recruits

The Police Service Commission has released the names of successful applicants for the recruitment of 50,000 police constables into the Nigeria Police Force.

The commission said the exercise followed a comprehensive, inclusive, equitable and transparent recruitment exercise conducted in collaboration with major stakeholders, including the Nigeria Police Force, Federal Character Commission, Ministry of Police Affairs, States Career and Counselling Departments and the Police Community Relations Committee.

In a statement on Wednesday by its Head of Protocol and Public Relations, Torty Kalu, the commission directed all candidates who sat the recently concluded written examination to check their recruitment status on the official portal, which will be opened on Thursday.

According to the statement, successful candidates will also receive email and SMS notifications on the email addresses and phone numbers they provided during the initial application.

The PSC said those confirmed successful were expected to report to designated police training institutions on dates and times to be communicated in due course for medical examination and documentation.

It warned that candidates who failed to honour the reporting timeline would be considered to have declined the offer.

The commission also noted that anyone who failed the medical examination conducted by the police medical team upon resumption of training would be declared unfit and required to leave the training.

“The successful candidates are expected to report to their designated Police Training Institutions on dates and times to be communicated in due course for medical examination and documentation.

“Candidates who fail to report within the stipulated time will be considered to have declined the offer.

“In addition, those who fail the medical examination that will be conducted by the police medical team on resumption of training will be declared unfit and shall be required to leave the training.

“Candidates are to report with their training call-up slip, NIN slip, BVN slip, original and photocopies of their certificates and other required documents and items as would be listed in the recruitment portal, “the statement said.

The recruitment forms part of the ongoing Federal Government’s efforts to boost police manpower and improve internal security across the country.(Punch)
