Recruitment: Police commission releases names of 50,000 successful applicants

The Police Service Commission, PSC, has released the names of 50,000 successful applicants for recruitment into the Constable cadre of the Nigeria Police Force, NPF.

The Head of Protocol and Public Relations of the PSC, Torty Kalu, said this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.

Mr Kalu said that the release of the list followed the successful conclusion of a comprehensive, inclusive, equitable and transparent recruitment exercise.

He also said that the exercise was conducted in collaboration with major stakeholders, including the NPF, Federal Character Commission, FCC, Ministry of Police Affairs, States Career and Counselling Departments and the Police Community Relations Committee, PCRC.

He urged all candidates who participated in the recently concluded written examination to login to the official recruitment portal on npfapplication.psc.gov.ng to check their recruitment status.

According to him, the portal will be opened by 12:00 am on Thursday.

He further said that successful candidates would also receive email and SMS notifications on the email addresses and phone numbers they provided during the initial application.

“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.

“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,” he said.

Mr Kalu said the candidates were 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.

He quoted the Chairman of the PSC, Mr Hashimu Argungu, as commending the Federal Government for approving the recruitment of the 50,000 police constables as part of measures to strengthen the nation’s security architecture.

The PSC Chairman enjoined the successful candidates to see the opportunity as a clarion call to serve the nation with dignity, integrity and unwavering commitment for a safe and secured Nigeria.
