The Commissioner of Police in Lagos, Olohundare Jimoh, has called for transparency and fairness in the ongoing police constable screening exercise, urging officials involved to ensure the recruitment process is conducted with integrity and professionalism.
Nijatravel reports that the police commissioner emphasised the need for strict adherence to the established guidelines governing the recruitment exercise. He noted that transparency in the Lagos police constable screening process is crucial to maintaining public confidence in the recruitment system and ensuring that only qualified candidates are selected.
Jimoh warned officers supervising the screening to avoid any form of corruption, favouritism, or misconduct that could undermine the credibility of the exercise. According to him, the recruitment process must be based strictly on merit and fairness to all applicants.
He also advised candidates participating in the screening to remain vigilant and comply with the official instructions issued by the authorities. The commissioner cautioned applicants against dealing with individuals who may attempt to defraud them by claiming to influence the recruitment process.
The police chief reiterated that the recruitment exercise into the Nigeria Police Force is completely free and does not require any form of payment. He urged candidates to promptly report anyone demanding money or inducements in connection with the screening.
The ongoing exercise is part of the nationwide recruitment programme coordinated by the Police Service Commission in collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force to strengthen manpower and improve security operations across the country.
The Lagos State Police Command assured the public that the screening process would be closely monitored to ensure fairness, credibility, and equal opportunity for all eligible applicants.
