The Nigeria Police Force has said the 10,000 newly recruited constables and specialists who are currently undergoing training will be deployed in February 2025.
It said the recruits would be deployed in their states of origin in line with the Federal Government’s community policing initiative.
Following a recruitment exercise, the Police Service Commission in June released a list of 10,000 successful applicants for employment.
Speaking in an interview with newsmen on Tuesday, the Force spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, said the recruits’ training was being conducted in 16 police training institutions across the country.
He added that the training commenced on August 10, 2024, for the General Duty cadre, adding that the exercise would last for six months.
