‘PSC Has No Constitutional Role in Tertiary Admissions' - Police Affairs Ministry, Says POLAC Online Admission Portal Remains Open

The Ministry of Police Affairs has countered an earlier statement by the Police Service Commission (PSC) regarding the closure of the portal for admission applications into the Nigeria Police Academy, saying the statement was misleading and false.

A statement signed by the Director of Information and Public Affairs Unit, and made available to the PRESSTVNEWS, said the admission portal is still open and running. It accused the PSC of meddling into affairs it has no constitutional rights or jurisdiction over.

The statement in full:
The attention of the Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil, Kano State, and the Federal Ministry of Police Affairs has been drawn to a misleading and inaccurate disclaimer issued by the Police Service Commission (PSC) on 31st July 2025.

We wish to categorically state that – The application for admission into the 12th Regular Course Degree Programmes of the Nigeria Police Academy is valid. The admission process is ongoing and follows due process in line with the National Universities Commission (NUC) and Federal Ministry of Police Affairs guidelines,

The PSC has no constitutional role in university admissions, and its statement is therefore legally baseless and misleading.

All interested applicants and the general public are advised to disregard the said disclaimer. The online application portal remains open as earlier advertised.
