In a separate interview, Mr Olayinka Balogun, a retired Commissioner of Police said the commission had since the inception of the exercise pledged to offer the best in police recruitment and training.
Balogun, who is also the Special Assistant to the Chairman of PSC, Alhaji Musiliu Smith said the laid down rules and regulations were followed from the commencement of the exercise.
“We started by putting up advert, then followed by zonal and state screening before getting to the point we are now, the aptitude test.
“During the screening, the commissioners, including the chairman went round the states and zones to ensure that the best hands were selected for the test.
“The process have been very easy because we have been transparent and not given to favouritism and nepotism since the commencement of the recruitment processes,” he said.
