The practical tests have been scheduled to hold at twenty locations which are the 17 Zonal Command Headquarters and Kaduna, Yobe and Zamfara state Command Headquarters.
Specialist applicants from these states are to do their practical tests in their respective states of origin.
The Chairman of the Police Service Commission, Dr. Solomon Arase, CFR, retired Inspector General of Police said the Commission is desirous of returning the Nigeria Police Force to its glorious past when its specialists were the best you can get anywhere and when the Force handled most of its ancillary services by itself.
Dr. Arase noted that the Police Force then had seasoned mechanics that handled repairs of its vehicles, Masons that built Police barracks, engineers who were into road construction and tailors who sewed Police uniforms, etc.
Dr. Arase said the practical tests for the Specialist applicants will be meticulously handled to ensure that the best hands are selected.
He further commended the Recruitment Board for their industry and commitment to this noble national assignment, adding that their selfless Service will not go unnoticed.
