  On Sunday, the Police Service Commission announced that the recruitment process for Nigerians applying for the Constable Cadre in the Nigeria Police Force will begin on Monday, January 8th, 2024. 




This process will take place nationwide and will involve both physical and credentials screening of qualified applicants. 




 The screening will occur after a six-week period for application submissions, adhering to the guidelines outlined by the Federal Character Commission. Every day, there are cash giveaways and opportunities for free bets. 



The Chairman of the Commission, Dr. Solomon Arase (IGP Rtd), informed PSC staff during a pre-deployment briefing at the Commission's headquarters over the weekend that this is not just a recruitment process, but rather, it is a significant event where your actions will have lasting effects.


 According to him, every decision and interaction contributes to the overall story of the Commission and influences how it is perceived, as well as the impact it will have in the future. He emphasized that starting this process signifies a significant and transformative phase for the Commission.



 "The Staff was urged by the Chairman to uphold professionalism and integrity and to accept this duty fully aware that their actions will have an impact beyond the current situation."  


  He emphasized that as members of the Commission, you have been given a responsibility that holds the significance of our country's desires for a fair and protected future. 



 He further mentioned that the importance of this recruitment process cannot be understated, as it is the first one conducted by the Commission after the significant Supreme Court ruling on July 20, 2023, which reaffirmed the Commission's authority and sole responsibility in recruiting for the Nigeria Police Force. 




 "He stated that we are on the verge of a new era, and it is our solemn responsibility to guarantee that this process sets the highest benchmark for future hiring." 



 "He prompted the employees of the Commission that the vigilant public will closely examine and evaluate all of our actions, requesting our steadfast devotion and allegiance to the ideals of equity and impartiality." 




 The Commission staff was urged to display their utmost conduct, maintaining the highest levels of discipline, integrity, and honesty. Arase stated that this is not solely a process to hire individuals, but rather an action taken to protect the integrity of our mission and to showcase the Commission's proficiency in this essential duty. 




 "I urge you to expect unparalleled difficulties throughout this activity." 




 "The pressure will be enormous considering the large number of applicants, exceeding 400,000, who present their reasons for wanting to join the Nigeria Police Force at your stations." 





 "Keep in mind that you are responsible for overseeing a process that is not only important, but also sets the stage for the upcoming recruitment of 30,000 individuals, which has been authorized by the present government." 




 Dr. Arase made an announcement regarding the establishment of a Situation Room at the PSC Corporate Headquarters in Jabi, Abuja. The purpose of this room is to improve the effectiveness and openness of the recruitment process. 



 This specially designated area will function as a center for addressing complaints, a support desk, and a storage facility for information, delivering crucial technical and operational assistance to staff working in the field. 




 The Commission will soon provide the general public with the contact numbers for the Situation Room so that they can access it during the entire operation. 



 He emphasized that this project demonstrates the Commission's dedication to guaranteeing a strong, responsible, and efficient operation. 




 He cautioned that severe repercussions would be faced by any employees who are discovered to be involved in suspicious acts, particularly when it involves seeking or obtaining money from applicants or their families. 




 "Our Commission considers these actions to be inconsistent with the values of honesty and impartiality, which we hold in the highest regard. Those responsible for such actions will face strict disciplinary actions, including the potential termination of their employment." 




 The Chairman of the PSC emphasized that the staff must consistently follow the utmost principles of professionalism and ethical behavior throughout the entire process. 



 Chief Onyemuche Nnamani, the Chairman of the Police Recruitment Board, and Dr. Ifeoma Adaora Anyanwutaku, the Permanent Secretary and Secretary to the Commission, shared messages of goodwill during the pre-deployment briefing.



 Additionally, Mr. Ferdinand Ekpe, the Director of the Department of Police Recruitment, delivered a code of conduct to all the Staff participating in the exercise. The Commission Management is emphasizing once again its commitment to adhere to this matter, emphasizing its seriousness.
