Police Extend Deadline For Recrutment Of Constables Due To Low Enrolment In S/East, Others

The Nigeria Police, Wednesday, announced the extension of the online registration in the ongoing 2021 recruitment for police constables to Saturday, January 22, 2022.

Hence, the NPF recruitment portal will remain open till midnight of the new date, Force Public Relations Officer CP Frank Mba said.

Mba said, “The extension of the online application is informed by the need to ensure equal opportunities and even spread of applications, particularly from states in the Southeast, Southsouth geopolitical zones and Lagos State, to enable them to meet the required quota for their respective areas.

“A statistical analysis shows that a total of 81,005 applications were received nationwide as at January 7, 2022. Out of this figure, only 1,404 applications – less than two percentage of the total applications – were received from the five states in the Southeast and 261 from Lagos State, with Anambra State having the least figure of 158 applicants.”

The Force therefore enjoined states and local governments, religious bodies and other interest groups in the affected geopolitical zones and Lagos State to assist in mobilizing and encouraging their citizens and wards to take advantage of the opportunity to seek a career path in the Nigeria Police Force.

The Forced urged interested applicants to log-on to the NPF recruitment portal, www.policerecruitment.gov.ng, to register before the expiration of the new deadline.

Applicants were further advised to call 08100004507 for any inquiry or complaints or technical difficulties in the use of the portal, adding that the recruitment exercise ‘is absolutely free of charge’.
