POLICE RECRUITMENT: Application Portal has been Unveiled

The Police Service Commission (PSC) has announced that the process of the recruitment of 10,000 police men as directed by President Buhari at the National Security Summit last year has commenced.


A statement by the spokesman of Police Service Commission (PSC) Ikechukwu Ani said the Commission had on Tuesday, March 22nd in Abuja unveiled the internet website portal for the recruitment.

Ani said the chairman of the Commission, Mike Okiro, who unveiled the portal at a ceremony attended by the management team of the Commission announced that the portal will be opened to the public on the 1st of April, 2016 which indicates the commencement of the recruitment exercise.

The unveiling of the portal is in actualization of the presidential directive on recruitment of 10,000.

He also said the Commission considers the exercise remarkable since there has not been recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force for more than five years due to financial constraints.

The PSC added that with the commencement of the process on April 1, interested Nigerians should access the portal through the Commission’s website:

www.psc.gov.ng or that of the Nigeria Police Force, www.npf.gov.ng.

NOTE: there will be no charges for the processing of the forms which will be done on-line.

The Commission said it will be recruiting into the three entry points of the Nigeria Police Force which are Constable, Cadet Inspector and Cadet ASP. There will also be recruitment into Specialist cadre.
