This comes after months of silence – beyond the opening of recruitment portal – on the presidential directive for the recruitment of 10,000 police personnel, to boost the manpower need of the police, which has remained grossly inadequate.
The commission, in a statement by its Head, Press and Public Relations, Mr. Ikechukwu Ani, said the exercise will hold between July 1 and 28.
A breakdown of the number showed that 182,926 applicants are males, while 27,224 others are females.
“The screening of shortlisted applicants for recruitment into the Constable Cadre of the Nigeria Police Force, by the PSC, will hold from Monday, July 1, to July 28th, 2019 in the 36 states of the federation and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. The commission has the approval of Mr. President to recruit 10,000 Nigerians into the Nigeria Police Force.
“210,150 successful applicants have been shortlisted for the screening exercise and letters of invitation stating venue, date and requirements for the screening, sent to the email addresses of the applicants at the time of submitting their applications. “The commission received 315,032 applications at the close of its recruitment portal on Friday, January 11, 2019,” the PSC said.
The commission noted that Niger State has the highest number of applicants, with Lagos being the state with the lowest entries.
“Niger State has the highest number of applicants – 2,247 shortlisted for screening while Lagos State has the least with, 1,305. Kano State has the second highest applicants with, 11,717; Katsina State, third with 11,651; Benue State, fourth, with 10,567; Adamawa State, fifth, with 10,361 and Bauchi State, sixth, with 10,232 applicants.
“Bayelsa State, with 1,414 shortlisted for the screening exercise, is second from the rear after Lagos State. Anambra State is third with 1,415, Ebonyi State fourth with 1,679, and Abia State fifth with 1,880 applicants.
“Out of the 210,150 applicants shortlisted for screening, 182,926 are males while 27,224 others are females,” the commission added.
