The recruitment of 10, 000 Policemen by the Police Service Commission
commences nationwide on (tomorrow) Friday, April, 1, 2016.
President Muhammadu
Buhari had last year at the National Security Summit in Abuja directed the
recruitment of 10,000 Nigerians into the Force to address the obvious shortfall
in the manpower needs of the Police.
Speaking on the recruitment exercise,
Chairman of the Commission, Dr. Mike Okiro warned the Staff of the Commission
who will be involved in the screening of candidates to avoid any act that will
compromise the integrity of the exercise.
Sir Okiro said any Staff involved in
any misconduct during the exercise will be sanctioned in line with the Public Service
Rules and may be prosecuted for sabotage. He said the Staff must live above
board as the Commission is ready to make a huge success of this presidential
assignment in line with its resolution to discharge its duties within the ambit
of the law, transparently, and according to laid down rules.
Okiro also warned
the candidates to desist from indulging or inducing the Staff of the Commission
as anyone caught will be arrested and prosecuted.
A statement signed by
Ikechukwu Ani, head of Public Relations quoted Okiro reiterating that there
will be no short cut in the exercise as everything has been put in place to
ensure that the integrity of the process will be preserved at all the stages of
the exercise.
He explained that the Nigeria Police Force deserves the best
brains in the Nigerian society, stressing that the Commission will ensure that
only the best will be engaged as Policemen who will sustain the cherished
tradition of the Force and also help to maintain peace as well as securing
lives and property of Nigerians and non-Nigerians.
“The website portal for the
recruitment exercise opens today” he said.
