The Police Service Commission (PSC) has announced that the medical screening of shortlisted applicants for recruitment into the Police Constable cadre will take place on April 16, 2024.
This significant development was made known by Ikechukwu Ani, the spokesperson of the PSC, in a statement released on Monday.
According to Ani, the decision to schedule the medical screening for April 16 is to ensure the completion of the ongoing Muslim Ramadan fast and the Christian Lenten period, along with all associated religious obligations.
The screening process is expected to last for two weeks and will mark the successful conclusion of the recruitment exercise.
The statement further revealed that specialist applicants who participated in the physical and credentials screening but were not involved in the computer-based tests conducted by the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) will undergo practical tests and medical screening during the specified period.
An excerpt from the statement reads: “The exercises are expected to hold in the 17 zonal command headquarters of the Nigeria Police Force and in Kaduna, Yobe, and Zamfara States, which have been accorded special considerations due to the security challenges in those states. Candidates from these states are to undergo the screening and practical tests in their states of origin.
“Police Colleges situated in states hosting the zonal command headquarters will also provide venues for the exercises.
“The Police Recruitment Board will contact shortlisted candidates with detailed information on where and when they are expected to arrive venues of their screening.
“Successful candidates from the medical screening will proceed to Police Colleges for their mandatory training.”
