ASABA/Nigeria: Delta State Government has called on all qualified candidates who applied for recruitment into the Nigerian Police Force to immediately report for the ongoing physical and credential screening exercise taking place in Asaba.
The Director General of the Delta State Bureau for Orientation and Communications, Dr. (Barr.) Fred Latimore Oghenesivbe, made the call in a statement issued on Sunday, noting that officials of the Police Service Commission (PSC) and recruitment officers would attend to candidates from Monday, March 16 through the second week of April.
Oghenesivbe explained that the screening exercise, being conducted by the Police Service Commission in collaboration with the Nigerian Police Force, represents a critical stage in the nationwide recruitment process into the Force.
He disclosed that the exercise is meant for candidates who received invitation letters indicating their screening centres and scheduled dates, those who missed their earlier screening appointments, applicants who printed their application forms after completing the online registration, as well as candidates who received invitation letters but were not assigned screening centres.
The Director General urged all candidates in these categories to present themselves for screening at the Delta State Police Command Headquarters along Okpanam Road, Asaba, starting from Monday, March 16, 2026.
According to him, the exercise provides a vital opportunity for qualified applicants to complete the recruitment process and move closer to their aspiration of serving the nation through the Nigerian Police Force.
He also advised candidates to attend the screening with all relevant documents and credentials to enable proper verification by the recruitment officials.
For further enquiries, Oghenesivbe said candidates could contact the designated police officer, DCP Rita Emesim, on 08077228516, or Barrister Anthonnette of the Police Service Commission on 08029723322.
He, however, clarified that candidates who had already participated in the screening exercise should disregard the announcement.
Oghenesivbe reaffirmed the Delta State Government’s commitment to supporting federal institutions in ensuring a transparent, credible and successful recruitment process, adding that the exercise aligns with the job and wealth creation drive of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori’s MORE Agenda.
