The Police Academy admissions exercise has taken a strong stance against bribery and corruption, with the chair emphasizing that any candidate found negotiating to give money for admission will be disqualified. The academy has reaffirmed its commitment to a merit-based selection process, ensuring that only the most qualified candidates are admitted. This move aims to promote transparency, accountability, and fairness in the admissions process.

The team included DIG Taiwo Lakanu rtd., FDC, Honourable Commissioner in the Commission.
The PSC Chairman, who also took a study tour of the facilities in the academy, directed that any candidate for admission into the university caught trying to compromise the process should be disqualified.
DIG Argungu warned that any candidate negotiating to pay money for consideration should be weeded out.
He said the exercise must be protected to run on merit, fairness, and equity. The PSC Chairman, who noticed some complaints about the functionality of the computers in some of the centres, directed that the systems should be quickly rectified or changed.
He commended the Commandant of the Academy, AIG Abubakar Sadiq, for his innovative initiatives, especially for the current post-JAMB screening.
The PSC Chairman said the Commission will ensure the academy is run on merit and fairness and that accountability and transparency must be their watchword.
DIG Argungu said the PSC team was in the academy for the common good of the ongoing post-JAMB computer-based tests. ” We are here as stakeholders, and I have noticed that the exercise is going on smoothly; there is progress in the process and the Commission will sustain it for the good of the
Institution”.
The chairman inspected the facilities in the academy, including the mood court, the clinic, the library, the lecture theatre, and screening centres.
The Commandant, AIG Sadiq, said the Academy was prepared for the exercise and would ensure there were no hitches. He told the visiting delegation that the computer test was transparent as the candidates immediately upon submission of their answers would receive a computer-generated result. He said before leaving the examination hall, the candidates will be able to know their scores.
