The commission added that successful candidates would also receive notifications through the email addresses and phone numbers provided during the application process.

According to the commission, successful applicants would be required to report to their designated police training institutions on dates to be communicated later for medical examinations and documentation.

The statement added, “The successful candidates are expected to report to their designated Police Training Institutions on dates and times to be communicated in due course for medical examination and documentation. Candidates who fail to report within the stipulated time will be considered to have declined the offer.

“In addition, those who fail the medical examination that would be conducted by the Police Medical Team on resumption of training will be declared unfit and shall be required to leave the training,” the commission stated.

The commission directed candidates to report with their training call-up slip, National Identification Number slip, Bank Verification Number slip, original and photocopies of their certificates, as well as other required documents and items listed on the recruitment portal.

He also urged the successful candidates to approach the opportunity with commitment and professionalism.

Argungu said, “He charged the successful candidates to see this opportunity as a clarion call to serve the nation with dignity, integrity and unwavering commitment to a safe and secured Nigeria.”
