Share this article

The Police Service Commission (PSC), in collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), has officially commenced the written examination phase for constable recruitment across the country today, April 28. The exams, which are scheduled to run through April 30, are the final hurdle for thousands of applicants who successfully passed the initial physical and document screening stages.

The NPF has deployed significant resources to ensure the integrity and smooth conduct of the examinations at various centers nationwide. Candidates are being tested on a range of subjects designed to evaluate their aptitude for police work, including general knowledge and basic law enforcement principles. The PSC has emphasized that the recruitment process is strictly merit-based, warning applicants against any form of examination malpractice or reliance on "middlemen".

This latest recruitment drive is part of the Federal Government's ongoing effort to bolster the nation's security architecture by increasing the number of boots on the ground. Successful candidates from this written phase will move on to the final interview and training stages, eventually joining the force to help combat rising security challenges in both urban and rural areas.
