….As Arase warns against fraudulent acts by PSC personnel
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) will begin recruitment of 30,000 Nigerians for constable positions on Monday, according to a statement released by the Police Service Commission (PSC) on Sunday. The successful applicants will undergo a physical and credential screening process after six weeks of submitting their applications in accordance with Federal Character Commission guidelines.
This was stated in a statement that the Commission’s spokesperson, Mr. Ikechukwu Ani, provided to reporters in Abuja.
According to the statement, the Chairman of the Commission. Dr. Solomon Arase, a retired Inspector General of Police, urged the Staff of the Commission at a pre-deployment briefing in Abuja over the weekend that the exercise was not merely a recruitment exercise; rather, a saga—an epic tale where your actions will reverberate through time; each decision, each interaction becomes a paragraph in this narrative, shaping the perception of our Commission and the legacy we leave behind.
Dr. Arase emphasized that the exercise’s start signaled the start of a revolutionary chapter in the Commission’s history.
The statement went on to say that the Chairman gave the staff the duty of carrying forth the traditions of professionalism and honesty, and that they should accept this obligation “with the knowledge that your actions will resonate beyond the confines of the present.”
According to him, “As staff of the Commission, you are entrusted with a job that carries the weight of our nation’s aspirations for a just and secure future.”
“This recruitment exercise assumes paramount significance as the first to be conducted by the Commission since the landmark Supreme Court judgement of July 20, 2023, which reaffirmed the primacy and exclusivity of the Commission in recruiting for the Nigeria Police Force.
“We stand at the precipice of a new era, and it is our solemn duty to ensure that this exercise establishes the gold standard for future recruitments.
The nation’s watchful eyes will scrutinise our every move, demanding our unwavering dedication and commitment to the principles of fairness and justice.”.
“Therefore, I implore each of you to exhibit your best behaviour, upholding the highest standards of discipline, integrity, and honesty.
This is not just a recruitment exercise; it is a defence of the sanctity of our mandate and a demonstration of the Commission’s competence in this vital function.
“I admonish you to anticipate unprecedented challenges during this exercise. With over 400,000 applicants passing through your stations, each presenting an argument to join the Nigeria Police Force, the pressure will be immense.
“Remember, you are the guardians of a process that not only holds inherent significance but also paves the way for the forthcoming 30,000-man recruitment approved by the current administration.”.
It added that Dr Arase disclosed that to enhance the efficiency and transparency of the recruitment exercise, the Commission would establish a situation room at the PSC Corporate Headquarters in Jabi, Abuja.
According to the statement, “This dedicated space will serve as a complaint response centre, a help desk, and an information repository, providing essential technical and operational support to personnel in the field.
It added that the Commission would, in a short while, communicate the dedicated telephone lines to the public to access the Situation Room throughout the exercise, pointing out that the initiative underscored the Commission’s commitment to ensuring a robust, accountable, and smooth exercise.
The statement further explained that Dr Arase warned that any staff found complicit in questionable activities would face severe consequences, ” especially soliciting or collecting money from applicants or their families.
