The PSC said successful candidates would be required to report to their designated Police Training Institutions on dates to be communicated later for documentation and medical screening.

It warned that candidates who fail to report within the stipulated period would be deemed to have declined the offer. It added that those who fail the mandatory medical examination to be conducted by the Police Medical Team upon resumption for training would be declared medically unfit and withdrawn from the exercise.

Successful applicants are to report with their training call-up slips, National Identification Number, NIN, slips, Bank Verification Number, BVN, slips, original copies and photocopies of their academic credentials, and other required documents and items to be specified on the recruitment portal.

The Chairman of the Commission, retired Deputy Inspector-General of Police Hashimu Salihu Argungu, expressed appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for approving the recruitment of 50,000 Police Constables as part of efforts to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture.

Argungu urged the successful applicants to regard their recruitment as a call to national service and charged them to discharge their duties with dignity, integrity and commitment to safeguarding lives and property across the country.
