Police recruitment portal still running – PSC
The Police Service Commission (PSC) has said the recruitment portal for constables into the Nigeria Police is still running with over 60,000 applications received.
The Head of Press and Public Relations PSC, Mr Ikecchukwu Ani, said this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said the commission had no intention to abdicate its constitutional mandate to recruit Nigerians into the Police Force, calling on interested Nigerians to continue to avail themselves of the opportunity to pursue a career in the Nigeria Police Force.
Ani disclosed that the portal, which was opened on Aug. 15, would be closed on Aug. 26.
Ani said the Commission’s Plenary would consider promotion examinations for Police Officers in line with the provisions of the Public Service Rules.
The PSC spokesman said the idea was to entrench merit in the conduct of police promotions.
He pledged the commitment of the Commission to continue to work to improve the overall performance in the Nigeria Police while providing the necessary platform for collaboration between the Police and PSC.
The Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, had in a statement said the force had not commenced its recruitment process.
Adejobi said the advertisement had no connection with the Nigeria Police or being in tandem with the Police recruitment process.
