Police Service Commission (PSC) has denied cancelling the ongoing police constable recruitment exercise.
The commission said it had just concluded routine maintenance of its portal, which contains the list of successful candidates for the recently concluded recruitment into the constable cadre of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
Its spokesperson, Ikechukwu Ani, in a statement, said, “The commission wishes to disown a statement circulating in social media alleging that it has succumbed to pressure and cancelled the final list of successful candidates.
The commission has not and will not cancel the final list of successful candidates from the recruitment exercise conducted in clear adherence to relevant guidelines and provisions of the law. The commission controlled the situation and restored the recruitment portal with its original contents.”
The statement further stated that “successful candidates are advised to ignore these deliberate antics of desperate groups bent on destroying the good work of the commission in giving the nation a merit-based and inclusive recruitment exercise, as the commission will continue to ensure that federal character, gender sensitivity, and merit are the bedrock of its recruitment process.”
The commission called on “disgruntled elements to desist further from undermining the recruitment exercise as anyone caught will be dealt with and restated that the portal is now fully functional and accessible. Candidates can now log in and access all its features without any disruptions. The commission regrets the hitches and assures that it has fully secured the platform.”
