Again, Police, PSC Set to Clash over Recruitment of 10,000 Constables

*Force yet to approach S’Court after losing at A’CourtThe last has not been heard of the tussle between the Police Service Commission and the Nigerian Police over the recruitment of 10,000 police constables, as both organisations are planning separate exercises for 2021.

The 2020 recruitment exercise, however, ran into troubled waters when the police insisted that it had the mandate to recruit constables. While the police authorities had given the impression that they would challenge the judgment at the Supreme Court, they were yet to approach the apex court. “Mr. President, had, in 2018, approved the recruitment of 10,000 Nigerians annually into the constable cadre of the Nigeria Police Force for six years. This is to inject needed additional personnel and to bridge the manpower gap in the force, especially with the resurgence of banditry, terrorism, and kidnapping in different parts of the country and regular loss of personnel through dismissal, retirement, natural death, accident, and others”, he said.

“The commission is aware of the manpower gaps in the Nigeria Police Force especially with rapid wastages of officers and men due to many reasons earlier highlighted. The public notice titled: “2021 Recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force,” said in the first paragraph that “the Nigeria Police Force in conjunction with the Police Service Commission invites applications from interested and qualified Nigerians for enlistment into the Nigeria Police Force as Police Constable ”.
