PSC VS POLICE: Police snubs court ruling, releases 2019 names for recruitment
http://www.hrlnews.com/2019/10/psc-vs-police-police-snubs-court-ruling.html
Authorities of the Nigeria Police
on Friday demonstrated defiance to the Judiciary when they released the
names of successful candidates in the 2019 recruitment exercise.
The
development negated the recent ruling of the Federal High Court, Abuja,
which ordered Police and the Police Service Commission to stay action
on the recruitment pending the determination of a suit filed by the
force against the PSC on the matter.
According to a tweet on the
Nigeria Police verified Twitter handle @PoliceNG the force wrote: “List
of successful candidates in the 2019 recruitment exercise into the
Nigeria Police Force, 24th October, 2019.
”The IGP has vetted and
given approval for the release of the final and authenticated list of
successful candidates who participated in the ongoing recruitment
exercise into the Nigeria Police Force. Below is the list of successful
candidates: https://www.npf.gov.ng/information/index.php”
In the link, under general instructions, the successful candidates
were requested to report at the police colleges/training schools
indicated against their states.
It was also learnt that the force
said training and documentation shall commence on Monday, October 28 and
closes on Friday, November 1. Failure to report for training within the
stipulated time will mean that the candidate had declined the offer.
