IGP’s protest forces PSC to suspend Constables’ recruitment

Following the protest by the Inspector-General of Police (IGP), the Police Service Commission (PSC) has suspended the 2022 recruitment of Constables.

The PSC said the suspension of the recruitment exercise was to resolve all contending issues with the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

The PSC, in a statement by Head of Press and Public Relations, Mr. Ikechukwu Ani, on Tuesday in Abuja, said its action was in the interest of the nation and

enjoined all interested applicants to be patient while the issues were being resolved.

The commission said it would continue to strive to give Nigerians a Police Force to be proud of.

The Force Headquarters had on Monday said it had not commenced recruitment process for the 2022 batch of Constables, contrary to a publication by the PSC.

The PSC had on August 11 issued a publication in the media on the commencement of the 2022 recruitment of Constables into the Nigeria Force.

The Force Headquarters, however, said it had no connection with the advert, which it said was not in tandem with the Police recruitment process and called on the public to disregard it.
