Constable, you would need to have an academic qualification higher
than a Secondary School Certificate and to become an Inspector, a
Third Class Degree would no longer be accepted as the minimum entry
option has now been reviewed.
This was noted by the Commissioner and Chairman, Public Affairs
Committee of the Police Service Commission, Comfort Obi, yesterday in
Abuja. She explained that the commission had reviewed the recruitment
process into the police.
Now, the minimum entry requirement is an Ordinary National Diploma.
Also, Third Class degree holders would no longer be accepted as Cadet
Inspectors, in line with the reform in the force.
We are focusing on the recruitment process and have raised the minimum
entry requirements.
"SSCE holders can no longer join the police as constables; even a
third class degree holder cannot join the Cadet Inspector cadre. The
minimum qualification for a constable is OND and it must include six
credit passes in SSCE including Credit pass in English and
Mathematics," Punch quoted her as saying.
