The Nigeria Police and Police Service Commission (PSC) may have finally resolved disagreement on the list of candidates recruited as constables into the Force.
The Inspector General of Police, (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun had taken up the PSC on the recruitment, which he said did not comply with the set standard.
The Police Recruitment Board has approved the 10th of August 2024 for the commencement of training for successful applicants of the 2022 Constable Recruitment exercise.
Specialist applicants are to resume training two months after that of their General Duty counterparts. Information on date and venues for their own specialized training will be announced in due course.
A statement on Monday said “The Police Service Commission wishes to appreciate the applicants for their patience and understanding while efforts were made to ensure that the exercise was inclusive and generally acceptable.’
The Commission also stated that it will continue to ensure that recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force is based on merit and respect for the Federal Character principles.
It enjoins the successful candidates to see their new status as a call to duty for the Nigerian nation, stressing that the Commission will monitor their training programmes to ensure that they come out prepared to join forces in fighting the security challenges facing our nation.
