The 2025 Police Constable Recruitment Exercise in Lagos State is approaching its final screening deadline, with Commissioner of Police Fatai Tijani urging all applicants to complete their assessments before Saturday. The screening, which began on March 9, is being conducted at the Police College in Ikeja, and Tijani made a personal visit on Thursday to monitor progress and ensure adherence to established procedures. He emphasized the importance of timely participation, warning that applicants who fail to undergo screening by the deadline may be disqualified from the recruitment process.
During his visit, Tijani met with officials from the Police Service Commission, the Federal Character Commission, and the Police Community Relations Committee, all of whom are actively monitoring the exercise to uphold fairness and transparency. The presence of these oversight bodies reflects the command’s commitment to merit-based recruitment and public accountability. Tijani commended the level of organization at the screening centre, noting the professionalism and coordination displayed by all agencies involved.
The exercise aligns with directives issued by Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu, who has emphasized the need for transparency and integrity in police recruitment nationwide. Tijani reiterated this commitment, assuring the public that the Lagos State Police Command is fully dedicated to ensuring a fair and credible selection process. He encouraged remaining applicants to seize the opportunity to complete their screening before the closing date, stressing that the window is closing and timely action is essential.
The screening process is a critical step in the recruitment of new police constables, aimed at strengthening the force with qualified and capable personnel. The Lagos State Command has worked closely with federal oversight bodies to ensure compliance with national standards and to build public trust in the process. Applicants are reminded to present themselves at the designated screening centre with all required documents and identification.
As the final days of the exercise unfold, authorities are focused on completing the process efficiently and without compromise. The outcome of this recruitment will contribute to the broader goal of revitalizing the police force and enhancing public safety across Nigeria. The Lagos State Police Command remains vigilant in its duty to uphold justice and serve the people with integrity.
