Orchestrated ambiguities and impunity even in the face of provisions of the basic law of the land is part of the problems of the Nigerian Federation. They are out of synch with the known notional content of federalism.

They are a product of the logic of domination by a section in a multinational entity, and consequently, the distrust and conflicts bedevilling the country. The controversy-marred 2020 recruitment of 10,000 personnel into the Nigeria Police exemplified the point being made.

In what would appear a dramatic resolution of the matter, the PSC has now made arrangements to conclude the 2020 recruitment of 10,000 constables, which was earlier suspended on account of the controversy and the consequent litigation. It is hoped that police recruitments should be domiciled in its statutory local even as President Muhammadu Buhari pledged yearly recruitment to boost the strength of the Police in the country.

Without ambiguity, the PSC is saddled statutorily with the responsibility of recruitment into the police force. The 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria is explicit on this. It was established as an executive body for the Federation of Nigeria under Section 153 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, and the Police Service Commission Act 2001.

However, irrespective of the intentions of the framers of our constitution, in spirit and letter, the security entity called the Police force has been converted into a cauldron of corruption and ethnic chauvinism where patronage, put otherwise, neopatrimonialism is the rule. The PSC was supposed to be the check and balance factor in the complex that the Police Force under a former overbearing IGP wanted to usurp in furtherance of an ethnic agenda.
