Mba said that was one of the reasons Nigeria Police extended the online registration in the continuous 2021 authorities constable recruitment to Saturday, January 22, 2022.

In a declaration on Wednesday, Mba said the extension ended up being required “to ensure equal opportunity and even spread of applications, especially from states in the South-East, South-South geopolitical zones and Lagos State.”

He stated the extension would allow the southern states to meet the needed quota for their respective states.

Giving a breakdown of the applications got so far, Mba said out of the 81,005 applications got across the country since January 7, 2022, only 1,404 applications (less than 2% of the overall applications) were gotten from the five states in the South East.

MBA added that just 261 were from Lagos State, including that Anambra has the least figure of just 158 applicants.

The Force appealed to states, local federal governments, spiritual bodies and other interest groups in the South-South, South-East and Lagos State to mobilize and motivate their wards and people to look for a profession path in the Nigeria Police Force.

“Interested candidates are urged to log on to the NPF recruitment portal to register prior to the expiration of the brand-new deadline,” he stated, including that the recruitment workout is absolutely complimentary of charge.
