At least 37,000 Nigerians who sat for a computer-based aptitude (CBA) examination organised by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) as part of recruitment process into the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the exercise.
6,000 successful candidates are expected to be enlisted into the NPF as constables.
Speaking while monitoring the examination in Abuja, JAMB Registrar, Dr. Ishaq Oloyede, congratulated the Nigeria Police for approaching the Board in search of excellence.
The registrar, who monitored the exercise alongside Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG) in charge of Training, Shettima Istifanus, said JAMB has been conducting similar examinations for government agencies and those in private sector that want to maintain high standard and excellence, adding: “We conduct examinations for different agencies, both in the public and private sectors, because we have the facilities that we use may be once or twice in a year. It is a public facility and at minimum cost, we allow people to use the system.
