The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and the Police Service Commission (PSC) have announced the resumption of the 2020 recruitment exercise of 10,000 constables, which was earlier suspended. This was disclosed on Saturday in a statement by NPF spokesman, Frank Mba titled, “NPF, PSC set to conclude 2020 recruitment exercise”. According to the statement, candidates are advised to check their status on the recruitment portal, www.policerecruitment.gov.ng which will be accessible from Monday, October 18 to Tuesday, October 26, 2021.


The statement reads in part, “Candidates who are qualified for the next stage of the recruitment are to print out their examination slips, which must be presented on the examination date, Friday, 29th and Saturday, 30th October 2021, at designated centers across the country.

“Candidates are equally advised to check their email and phone numbers for notifications.”

The NPF stated that the recruitment exercise was free of charge but also encouraged candidates to call 08100004507 for any enquiries regarding the recruitment exercise.

The 2020 recruitment exercise was suspended because of a misunderstanding between the Police Service Commission and the then police management team headed by former Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu.
