Once again recruitment into the Nigeria Police Porce is in progress as senate gives their go ahead to the PSC to continue with the Police recruitment.
The Chairman, Senate Committee on Police Affairs, Senator Abu Ibrahim (APC, Katsina-South) told journalists in Abuja that the commission could now continue with the recruitment.
Ibrahim announced that the clash between the Senate and the PSC had been resolved.
“We have resolved the issue and the recruitment would be done on local government basis. Very soon, the exercise will resume,” he said.
The lawmaker stated that the new intakes would form the foundation for the commencement of community policing in the country.
He said, “Nine personnel would be recruited per local government area. The policemen would be used to form a unit for community policing in all the 774 local government areas of the country.”
Given 774 LGAs in Nigeria that means about 6966 positions will be filled via the LGAs this begs the question what happens to the remaining slots?
