The Police Service Commission, in collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force, has announced dates for the next stage of its nationwide recruitment exercise, urging candidates to remain vigilant against fraudsters.
In a statement issued by the Akwa Ibom State Police Command, the Written Examination for applicants seeking enlistment as Police Constables (General Duty and Specialist Cadres) will hold from 28th to 30th April 2026 across designated centres nationwide.
For candidates in Akwa Ibom State, the examination will take place at the University of Uyo Town Campus.
Only applicants who successfully passed the earlier physical and credential screening are eligible to participate. Candidates are directed to print their examination slips from the official portal, which will indicate their specific venue, date, and time.
Authorities have instructed applicants to come along with their National Identification Number (NIN) slip, printed exam invitation card, and essential writing materials, while adhering strictly to the approved dress code of white shorts, white T-shirt, and white canvas shoes.
Reaffirming the integrity of the exercise, the Police Service Commission warned that recruitment is completely free of charge, stressing that any form of financial inducement, job racketeering, or scam will attract severe legal consequences.
The Commissioner of Police in Akwa Ibom State, CP Baba Mohammed Azare, fsi, urged candidates to comply fully with all guidelines, arrive early at their centres, and maintain discipline throughout the exercise.
Security authorities say the recruitment process remains part of ongoing efforts to strengthen manpower within the nation’s policing system while ensuring transparency and merit-based selection.
