The Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), retired Deputy Inspector General of Police Hashimu Argungu, issued a stern warning against any form of bribery or unethical practices in the ongoing admission process at the Police Academy in Wudil, Kano.
Argungu, during a supervisory visit to the academy on Wednesday, emphasized that candidates caught attempting to compromise the admission process would face immediate disqualification.
In a statement by the commission’s spokesperson, Ikechukwu Ani, Argungu reiterated the PSC’s commitment to ensuring that the admission exercise is conducted with integrity, fairness, and merit.
“Any candidate negotiating to pay money for consideration should be weeded out.
The process must run on merit and transparency,” Argungu said.
He further emphasized, “The Commission will ensure the academy is run on fairness and that accountability and transparency remain its guiding principles.”
The PSC chairman also inspected key facilities at the academy, including the Moot Court, Clinic, Library, Lecture Theatres, and screening centers.
Addressing complaints about malfunctioning computers, he directed immediate repairs to facilitate a seamless screening process.
Argungu commended the academy’s leadership under Commandant AIG Abubakar Sadiq for adopting innovative measures, such as computer-based testing (CBT), to enhance the admission process.
He lauded the transparency of the system, which allows candidates to view their results immediately after submission, fostering accountability.
The visit and Argungu’s directives underline the PSC’s dedication to maintaining high standards and ensuring a corruption-free admission process into the Police Academy.
