The Police Service Commission (PSC) announced on Thursday that the successful candidates from the recently concluded 2022 Police Recruitment exercise are expected to begin training this Saturday, August 10th, at various Police colleges across the country.

In a statement released in Abuja by the Spokesperson of the Police Service Commission, Mr. Ikechukwu Ani, the training will run from August 10th to August 20th.

According to the statement, “The candidates expected to report for training are those who have confirmed their status on the Police Recruitment Portal: https://apply.policerecruitment.gov.ng.

“The names of the candidates are already with the management of the colleges and only those whose names are on the list will be admitted.

“The Commission wishes to clarify that it has discontinued the use of the previous portal, www.policeservicecommission.cloud, where names were initially released. After a thorough meeting with Police Management, it was agreed that the portal used from the beginning of the exercise should be sustained until the end to ensure fairness, justice, and inclusivity in the recruitment process.

“Only candidates whose names appeared on the agreed portal or who received official messages inviting them to report at the colleges will be allowed for training.

“Messages are currently being sent to successful candidates, including specialists, who are to report for training between September 28th and October 10th, 2024.”

The statement added that the Chairman, DIG Hashimu Argungu (rtd), urged the candidates to ensure they report to the colleges on the exact dates required of them.

The Commission assured that it would continue to monitor the candidates’ progress throughout their time in the training colleges to ensure they are fully prepared to serve the nation and contribute to the fight against banditry and terrorism.

Dr. Argungu stated that Commission staff would be sent to the colleges to monitor the candidates’ conduct and disposition during training. He assured that the Commission would continue to provide the enabling environment for them to give their best to the Nigerian nation.
