PSC Unveils New Police Recruitment Portal
Ahead of the 2025 police recruitment exercise, the Police Service Commission (PSC) on Friday announced a new recruitment portal and decentralisation of the exercise.
The PSC Chairman, DIG Hashimu Argungu (rtd), said the commission has also approved various recruitment desk officers across the 36 states.
The decision comes barely 24 hours after the commission warned state governments against hijacking job slots allocated to states.
The PSC Head of Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, said the move would improve and consolidate efficient, transparent, accountable and equitable recruitment in the country.
“Following the successful meeting with representatives from the 36 states and the Federal Capital Territory in Abuja, the Police Service Commission is set to decentralise police recruitment and allow recruitment desk officers from the states to play key roles during the 2025 recruitment exercise.
“The Commission will also ensure that all the stakeholders, the Ministry of Police Affairs, the Nigeria Police Force and the Federal Character Commission will have access to the portal for inclusiveness and transparency.
“It will also help prevent corruption and nepotism in the system.
“The newly acquired recruitment portal, which will serve for recruitment of both its staff and all categories of police officers, is now ready and will be deployed during the period of such recruitments,” Argungu said.
He further noted that going forward, police recruitments will be facilitated through the Commission’s recruitment portal, with state officers playing significant roles.
He said the portal will be opened to applicants once the COMMISSION is ready to commence the 2025 recruitment exercise.
