Afenifere rejects local council as basis for recruitment of police personnel
By Seye Olumide   |   09 November 2016   |   2:46 am  
The Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, has raised the alarm over the danger in using local council as basis for recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

It said recruitment into the armed forces must follow the laid-down Principle of Federal Character, which is the basis.

The group’s reaction cameon the heels of the simmering crisis between the Senate Committee on Police Affairs and the Police Service Commission (PSC), which ultimately led to the suspension of the recruitment of 10,000 personnel into the force in September.


The National Publicity Secretary of the group, Mr. Yinka Odumakin, noted that while the PSC was insisting that the process should follow the constitutional provision of equality of states in line with the Principle of Federal Character, the Senator Abu Ibrahim-led committee wanted the recruitment to be done on the basis of local councils. He also said that the Senate committee insisted that the police force should supervise the exercise as against the service commission, which is statutorily saddled with such responsibility.
He said: “The suspension of the exercise was to allow President Muhammadu Buhari mediate in the dispute between the two bodies but to the consternation of all, the Senate committee recently announced that the President has ruled in its favour.

“We reject this blatant violation of the Principle of Federal Character and the constitutional process on the alter of political and sectional expediency.”

The group said the implication of what is about to happen is that Lagos State having just 20 local councils with a bigger population than Kano State, which has 44, will have fewer representatives in the force.

It also observed that an oil-bearing state like Bayelsa State contributing substantially to the federation pool from which the recruited officers would be paid has only eight local councils and will have just 72 men against Jigawa State, which hardly contributes to the pool but will have 234 men based on its 26 local councils.

It added: “There is nothing that justifies the disparities than the politics of domination and conquest that is at the heart of the volatile injustice embedded in our prebendal politics in Nigeria.”

Police Recruitment Of 10,000 Into Police Will Be Based On LGA Quota – IGP

The Inspector General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris has said the recruitment of 10,000 applicants into the police will be based on local government quota  to ensure equal representation at the grassroot across the cadres of the force.

The IGP said “this is in line with the principle of democratic policing which provides that the police should have equal representative of the community it serves”

The Police Chief stated this in his presentation titled “Roadmap for Sustainable Policing by The Nigeria Police Force” while speaking as the Guest speaker During the Alumni Association of the National Institute which held in Abuja on Thursday, November 3, 2016.

According to him” Nigeria as a country has an estimated population of 182,000,000 with a police strength of about 338, 490. The United Nation recommended Ratio of policeman to Civilian is 1:400, while going by Nigerian statistics, the ratio is 1:537, which shows that the NPF requires additional 116, 510 personnel to meet up with the recommended strength of 455,000

He said “This manpower shortage is compounded by lack of recruitment of Rank and File since 2010, which he said had depleted the capacity in the area of community policing”

“In order to enhance the confidence and trust of the public, the current administration has decided to co-opt community and religious leaders as well as civil society organisations(CSOs) in the screening and vetting of the prospective candidates into the force” he said , adding that “such involvement will make the candidates to be thoroughly vetted in both character and merit”

In his words “In addition to these measures, this administration will ensure that the current recruitment of 10,000 policemen approved by His Excellency, Mr President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces will be based on local government quota, to ensure equal representation at the grassroot  across the cadres of the Force.

The Chief Police Officer who said ensuring the welfare of the men is a paramount motivation factor, said “the present administration is committed to the provisions of welfare packages such as dry rations while on beats, operations and theatres, payment of statutory benefits as at when due added that the federal government is also in collaboration with state governors making concerted efforts to ensure provision of befitting police barracks for the personnel”

He however lamented that a key impediment to the efficiency of the Force is that of inadequate funding as he revealed that the ideal requirement needed by the Force is N483,284,574,000.00 as against the annual allocation of N2,359,957,453.00 received in 2016.

Real Reason Why Police Recruitment Of 10,000 Personnels Is Taking Too Long
October 17, 2016 Ezekiel Enejeta INDUSTORY JOBS 0



Chairman, Senate Committee on Police Affairs, Senator Abu Ibrahim, last Thursday said that the proposed recruitment of 10,000 police personnel by the Federal Government was suspended due to sharp disagreement over the criteria for the recruitment.

Senator Ibrahim told reporters in Abuja while some stakeholders wanted local government areas to be the basis for the recruitment exercise; others insisted that equality of states should serve as the basis for the exercise.

The Katsina South lawmaker said that there were also some legal impediments to the exercise.



He noted that some people felt that the police should recruit from Inspectorate cadre downwards while the Police Service Commission should issue letters of appointment to the recruits.

He said that the issues had not been fully resolved hence the temporary suspension of the recruitment exercise.

Ibrahim who said that President Muhammadu Buhari, has already intervened in the disagreement assured that within a week the issue would be resolved.



He noted that there was no truth in the speculation that the National Assembly wanted to take over the recruitment.

He said, “Honestly, it (recruitment exercise) has to be suspended for two obvious reasons. First, everybody knows that it was agreed that this recruitment must be done per local government.

“The reason for that is that we are poised to give emphasis to community policing. The local governments are the smallest recognised units by the constitution. So nine (recruits) per local government, they will form the nucleus for this community policing per local government.

“The obstacle was equal per state. Some people felt that it is not representative of federal character.

“I asked them what about what is happening in the National Assembly, in which the number of person per state in the House of Representatives is by the size of the local governments of that state, why the Senate is by equality of state.

“But even that is not the main argument. The main argument is that the police is divided into divisional units under a Divisional Police Officer (DPO).. Most of these DPO are current with the local government areas.

“Therefore, if the police want the recruitment to be based on local governments, they are right because the smallest units are the Divisional Police Units (DPU).

Now, the commission somehow decided differently, and police also decided differently. So that is the first issue. The second issue is the issue of “There is even this legal aspect that the police should recruit from Inspectors downwards, and the commission approves and gives letters of appointment.

“This is another area of conflict.

“But the president has intervened and probably, within the next one week, final decision will be taken on what should be done.

“But the main issues are these disagreements.

Police say it is per local government, while the commission says it should be per state.

“And we are saying the recruitment should be per local government for the recruits and the rank and files, while the officers should be equality per state.

“This is because the officers’ cadres go anywhere, but these rank and files, we want them to remain in their communities to form the nucleus of community policing.

“So these are very serious disagreement that we have seen and the president has now waded in.

“They are going to find us a position that we are going to take on this recruitment.

“I hear some rumours that the National Assembly wants to take over the recruitment. How can we do that?

“Those who don’t want this thing to go on are saying it is against federal character, which kind of federal character when we are talking of community policing.

“After all, the DPUs are they based on federal character. It is by size and population. And there is even a requirement of thirty thousand persons per police officer.

“That is not true, how can we take over when we are not part of the executive. And does he take instruction from me.

“I told him my reservations and advised him that he should suspend it until these things are sorted out.

“The National Assembly cannot do the recruitment but we have interest on how it is done. That is part of our oversight function. It is not correct, it is just rumour.

“How can you do community policing if for example, a state like Bayelsa with eight local governments you give them 240 policemen and Kano with forty four local governments, you give them two hundred and forty policemen.

“How can they have community policing because there in Bayelsa, they will have 30 policemen per local government but in Kano they will have five or four per local government.

“Is it the samething. And this community policing is something that will save Nigerian police because we believe that if we have community policing, people will be more committed.

“There will be less corruption, synergy between the people in the area will be much better and they will be much better to fight crime.

“So, it did not just come out of the blues that it should be based on local governments’ basis.”
