Any candidate who fails to present (i –iv) above, will not be considered for screening.

Applicants are equally advised to pay attention to detailed and specific guidelines on the screening exercise for each State, particularly, the location of screening and dates of screening per LGA, which will be announced by the Police Public Relations Officers in the thirty-six (36) States of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT)” the statement read in part.

Mba revealed that a total of 135,027 valid applications were received in the online registration exercise.

“The IGP further noted that a total of 135,027 valid applications were received in the online registration exercise. He commended the satisfactory increase in the number and geographic spread of the applications, particularly in the South-East and South-South region of the country following the extension of the registration exercise.”

Recall that the NPF had extended deadline for registration owing to low turnout of applicants from the South- East and south-South regions.
