The Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba, has raised an alarm that the Nigeria Police extended the online registration in the 2021 police constable recruitment going on to Saturday, January 22, 2022, to permit Southerners to apply.
In a statement on Wednesday, Mba said the extension became necessary“to ensure equal opportunity and even spread of applications, particularly from states in the South-East, South-South geopolitical zones and Lagos State.”
He said the extension would empower the southern states to meet up with the necessary quota for their individual states.
Giving a breakdown of the applications received so far, Mba said out of the 81,005 applications got across the country as of January 7, 2022, just 1,404 applications (less than 2% of the absolute applications) were gotten from the five states in the South East.
MBA added that just 261 were from Lagos State, adding that Anambra has minimal figure of only 158 candidates.
The Force PRO appealed to states, local governments, religious bodies and other interest groups in the South-South, South-East and Lagos State to assemble and energize their residents and wards to look for a vocation in the Nigeria Police Force.
“Interested applicants are urged to log on to the NPF recruitment portal to register before the expiration of the new deadline,” adding that the recruitment exercise is absolutely free of charge.
