PSC Extends Deadline for Police Constable Recruitment Amidst Overwhelming Response

By prince Benson Davies

In a bid to ensure equitable representation nationwide, the PSC and NPF have announced a two-week extension for the ongoing police constable recruitment exercise.

This decision follows the receipt of over 400,000 applications and a review showing significant disparities in state participation. While some states like Adamawa, Benue, and Kaduna have high application numbers, states such as Lagos, Ogun, Bayelsa, Ebonyi, and Anambra have notably lower submissions.

The extension aims to ensure equitable representation nationwide. All eligible Nigerians, particularly from the above-mentioned states with fewer applications, are strongly encouraged to apply via the official portal: www.npfapplication.psc.gov.ng.

State governments, local government councils, sociocultural organizations, religious bodies, community leaders, and other stakeholders are strongly encouraged to mobilize and sensitize eligible citizens within their jurisdictions to apply before the new deadline.

The PSC and NPF reaffirm their commitment to a fair and transparent recruitment process.
