The Chairman Senate Committee on Police Affairs, Senator Abu Ibrahim (APC, Katsina South) has said the suspension has been lifted and recruitment will continue soon.
Four weeks ago, the Senate had in a letter asked the PSC to suspend the exercise over alleged irregularity in the criteria adopted for the recruitment.
The Senate had suggested that the recruitment be done on Local government basis but the PSC insisted that it should be done per state.
