The recruitment of 10,000 policemen nationwide will commence on Friday, April 1, 2016, as earlier planned.
In 2015, President Muhammadu Buhari approved the exercise at the National Security Summit held in Abuja.
The Police Service Commission, PSC, in a statement on Thursday in Abuja warned its staff against compromising the recruitment process.
In the media release, issued by PSC’s Head, Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, employees of the Commission were urged to live above board and not make a mess of the presidential assignment.
Ani warned candidates to also desist from indulging or inducing the staff as anyone caught would be arrested and prosecuted.
He said the Nigeria Police Force deserves the best brains in the Nigerian society, stressing that the commission would ensure that only the best would be engaged.
The statement stressed that any staff involved in any misconduct during the exercise would be sanctioned in line with the Public Service Rules and may be prosecuted for sabotage.
