The Police Service Commission (PSC) has reiterated its constitutional mandate to recruit interested Nigerians into the Police Force.

The affirmation followed a long-standing disagreement with the Nigeria Police concerning who had the constitutional right to coordinate the recruitment into the Force

The disagreement had further prompted the commission to bend toward the dictate of the Police by suspending the 2022 police recruitment after the Police publicly disregarded the exercise that kicked off on August 15.

It also noted that its recruitment portal which opened on August 15 “is still running with over 60,000 applications already received.”
