The Commission’s spokesman, Mr. Ikechukwu Ani, said in a statement on Sunday that the interview which begins on Monday, 19th May 2025 in all the 17 Police Zonal Command Headquarters across the federation will be jointly supervised by the Commission and senior Police Officers.
According to the statement, commissioners in the Commission are expected to monitor the exercise in their geo-political zones to ensure that the credibility of the exercise is not diluted.
Chairman of the Commission, DIG Hashimu Argungu rtd mni, had earlier warned that the promotion interview is not a do or die exercise, insisting that the Commission will deal with any one trying to compromise its integrity.
The PSC Chairman, who noted that promotion and its processes in the Nigeria Police Force will always be based on merit and availability of vacancies, advised that police officers scheduled for the promotion interview should be prepared to face the interview panel and earn their promotion.
“The Commission is committed to building a new Police culture where merit, competence, and ability to innovate are paramount, especially in this era of intelligence policing”, Argungu said, advising the candidates to have confidence in the system and allow for a smooth and credible exercise.
