PSC Unveils 50,000 Successful Police Constable Recruits

The Police Service Commission has released the names of 50,000 successful applicants recruited into the Nigeria Police Force as police constables following the completion of the nationwide recruitment exercise.

The commission announced the development in a statement issued on Wednesday by its Head of Protocol and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani.

According to the PSC, the recruitment followed a comprehensive, transparent, inclusive and equitable selection process conducted in collaboration with key stakeholders, including the Nigeria Police Force, the Federal Character Commission, the Ministry of Police Affairs, state career and counselling departments, and the Police Community Relations Committee.

The commission directed all candidates who participated in the recently concluded written examination to check their recruitment status through the official recruitment portal, which will become accessible from Thursday.

It added that successful applicants would also receive notifications through the email addresses and telephone numbers submitted during the application process.

The statement said successful candidates would be required to report to their designated police training institutions on dates and times to be communicated later for documentation and medical screening.

The PSC warned that any candidate who failed to report within the stipulated period would be deemed to have declined the offer of appointment.

It also stressed that candidates who fail the mandatory medical examination to be conducted by the Nigeria Police medical team upon resumption at the training schools would be declared medically unfit and withdrawn from the exercise.

“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,” the statement read.

The commission advised candidates to report with their training call-up slip, National Identification Number slip, Bank Verification Number slip, original credentials, photocopies of certificates and other required documents listed on the recruitment portal.

The recruitment forms part of the Federal Government’s efforts to strengthen the manpower of the Nigeria Police Force and improve internal security across the country through increased personnel deployment.
