The Nigeria Police Force has extended the online registration for the ongoing 2021 recruitment exercise for interested and eligible Nigerians into the service of the Nigeria Police Force as Police Constables.
The NPF recruitment portal, www.policerecruitment.gov.ng, will now remain open till midnight on Saturday, January 22, 2022.
In a statement issued on Wednesday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CP Frank Mba, the extension of the online application is informed by the need to ensure equal opportunity for all.
“The extension of the online application is informed by the need to ensure equal opportunity and even spread of applications, particularly from States in the South- East, South-South geopolitical zones, and Lagos State, to enable them to meet up with the required quota for their respective areas. A statistical analysis shows that a total of 81,005 applications were received nationwide as of January 7, 2022. Out of this figure, only 1,404 applications – less than 2% of the total applications – were received from the five States in the South East and 261 from Lagos State, with Anambra State having the lowest figure of 158 applicants.
“Consequently, the Force enjoins 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. Interested applicants are
urged to log on to the NPF recruitment portal, www.policerecruitment.gov.ng, to register before the expiration of the new deadline.
“Applicants are further advised to call 08100004507 for any inquiry or complaints or technical difficulties in the use of the portal. The recruitment exercise is free of charge,” the statement read.
