At the National Security
Summit last year, Buhari ordered the Police to recruit more men to boost
security.
The Commission Chairman,
Mike Okiro, who unveiled the portal, said the portal would be opened to the
public on April 1.
The Police Service
Commission (PSC) has unveiled a portal for the recruitment of 10,000 officers
as directed by President Muhammadu Buhari.
In a statement, yesterday,
PSC’s Head of Press and Public Relations Ikechukwu Ani said the recruitment
process online is free for intending officers.
Okiro said there had been
no recruitment into the Police for over five years due to financial constraint.
He said thousands of
policemen, who died in service, dismissed or retired, had not been replaced
since the last five years, leaving the Force under-manned and overstretched.
On whether a fee would be
paid for the forms, Okiro said: “We are not charging money; it is free,
absolutely free and the portal has been structured in a way that there will be
no short cut. So, everybody must go through due process”.
The statement
added: “The commission will be recruiting candidates into the three entry
points of the Nigeria Police Force which are Constable, Cadet Inspector and
Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP). There will also be recruitment
into the Specialist cadre.”
Interested
Nigerians have been asked to access the portal through the commission’s website
www.psc.gov.ng or that of the Nigeria Police Force, www.npf.gov.ng.
