The Nigeria Police Recruitment Board has fixed Tuesday April 16, 2024 for Practical Tests/Screening of Specialist applicants in the ongoing recruitment of Constables into the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
The test will run concurrently with the medical screening of both General Duty applicants and Specialists, which had earlier been scheduled to start on Tuesday April 16, 2024 and will last for two weeks.
Spokesman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), Ikechukwu Ani, said the applicants will be expected to be tested on various fields which include Band, Carpentry, Communication, Driving, Electrical, Information Technology, Masonry and Marine Technology.
Other fields include, Mechanic, Medical Assistants, Painting, Plumbing, Tiling, Printing, Welding and Veterinary Assistants.
The practical tests have been scheduled to be held at 20 locations nationwide, which are the 17 Local Command Headquarters and Kaduna, Yobe and Zamfara States Command Headquarters.
Also PSC Chairman Solomon Arase has said the Commission was desirous of returning the NPF to its glorious past when its Specialists were the best and when the Force handled most of its ancillary services by itself.
Arase noted that the Police Force then had seasoned Mechanics and handled repairs of its vehicles, Masons that built Police barracks, Engineers who were into road construction and Tailors who sewed Police uniforms, among others.
He said the practical tests for Specialist applicants would be meticulously handled to ensure that the best hand get selected.
