What the screening is about
The Nigeria Police Academy, Wudil–Kano, has called all applicants for the 12th Regular Course to attend its full screening exercise. This will begin on 6th October 2025. It is no small affair, as the screening stretches across computer-based tests, medical checks, physical screening, and finally a selection board interview.
For many, this is the main gate to step into the Academy. Missing a step or ignoring a detail could mean a long wait till another year. So it pays to keep an eye on the schedule.
