WAEC to Conduct Police Recruitment Examination in Niger

Laleye Dipo in Minna

The West African Examination Council (WAEC) has been designated the chief examiner for candidates seeking recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force in Niger State.

WAEC will conduct the Computer Based Examination (CBT) for those already screened for the recruitment in 2020.

The state Police Commissioner, Mr Monday Bala Kuyar’s, said in a statement in Minna, the state capital, on Monday that the examination will hold on Friday at the Gidan Kwanu permanent site of the Federal University of Technology.

Kuyar’s warns candidates sitting for the examination to conduct themselves in an orderly manner before, during and after the examination, saying that adequate security measures have been put in place to ensure a hitch-free exercise.

In addition, the police boss said the
candidates are to appear for the examination in clean white T-shirt, white short, and white canvas, adding that they are to equally come along with the printout of examination slips from their various e-mail accounts.

The examination is the continuation of the recruitment of 10,000 policemen into the force, which started in 2020, but was stopped following a face-off between the Police Service Commission and the Police High Command on who should be responsible for the recruitment.

However, the Inspector General of Police (IG), Alhaji Alkali Baba, during a recent visit to the Niger State Police Command announced that the dispute over who should do the recruitment has been resolved but did not say in whose favour.
