PSC willl never cancel constable recruitment – Spokesperson

The Police Service Commission has denied reports that it cancelled the recently concluded 2022 police constable recruitment.

The PSC and the Joint Congress of the Police Service Commission had been embroiled in verbal disputes following the police’s allegations that the recruitment exercise done by the commission was marred with irregularities.

The commission, in a statement on Tuesday by its Head, Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, stressed that the final list of successful candidates from the recruitment would never be cancelled.

He insisted that the exercise was done by relevant laws.

Ani said, “The Police Service Commission has just concluded routine maintenance of its portal containing the list of successful candidates for the recently concluded recruitment into the constable cadre of the Nigeria Police Force. 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 which was conducted in clear adherence to relevant guidelines and provisions of the law. The commission is in control of the situation and has since restored the Recruitment portal with its original contents.”

He, therefore, urged successful candidates to disregard the reports.

Ani said, “Successful candidates are advised to ignore the 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. It notes that it will continue to ensure that Federal character, gender sensitivity and merit are the bedrock of its recruitment process.”

He warned those behind the report to desist, adding that anyone caught would be made to face the wrath of the law.
Ani said, ” The commission calls on these disgruntled elements to desist further from undermining the recruitment exercise as anyone caught will be dealt with.

“The Commission restates 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.”
