Jobs/Vacancies / Re: Nigeria Police 2016 Recruitment Of 10,000 Personnel by fvcxze: 11:17pm On May 28, 2017 |
No fewer than 500 candidates already shortlisted for
the ASP and Special Inspector cadate jobs in the
Nigerian Police Force were suddenly replaced with
names of those who never participated in a series of
tests for the recruitment programme in 2016, according
to some of the affected candidates.
They complained that it was after their names had
appeared in the publication made by by the committee
that they discovered some manipulation
innthevexercise
Narrating her experirnce on the issue, Miss Elly Oge,
who said her name was among those directed to report
at the Police College Jos said: “There was no
communication telling us of any change in date until
we reported at Jos, as instructed .
” But the first embarrassment for me, having travelled
from Lagos , at the gate of the school was the
programme had been postponed.
“However, we later noticed that people were being
given accommodation, and none of them was part of
screened candidates, nor were they at the previous
stages of the writtrn , oral and medical tests that we
had undergone.”
Another candidate , Mr. George Abang, said he
travelled from Calabar for the final exercise only to
meet entirely a new set of candidates.whom he had
been interacting with in the previous exercises.
“One of them later advised me to go for a top politician
or someone, who knows people in the police top
hierarchy for me to be given a chance .
” But i felt this is not what I bargain for, moreover, I
don’t know anyhody in that cadre ,”
Confirming havong received similar complaints
from.some of the disaffected candidates, a lawyer in
the chambers of Adebgoruwa, legal practioner and
human rights activist, they had addressed somec
letters the Senate President; Bodila Saraki, Minister of
Labour snd Productivity, Chris Ngige, as well as the
Chairman, Nigerian Police Service Commission , Mike
Okiro and other offices that should have some.say on
the matter, adding that no reply had come from them
till the time of oing to press.
The said letter , signed by Mr Kingdley Izimah, ESQ,
and dated Friday, March 10, 2017 reads in part: “We
are Solicitors to 260 shortlisted successful applicants
under the “ASP and Inspector Specialist Cadet” category
in the just concluded 2016 Police recruitment exercise,
who are awaiting resumption at the various Nigeria
Police College training camps, (hereafter referred to as
‘our Client’) on whose behalf and instruction we write
this letter.
“”Consequent upon this development and publication
of the names of successful applicants, our client and
the other 260 shortlisted successful “ASP and
Inspector Specialist Cadet” applicants patiently waited
to be called by the Police Service Commission to
resume training at the Police College, only for them to
be informed that another group of people who did not
undergo recruitment process, aptitude test, physical
screening and documentation have been fraudulently
injected and unjustly enrolled into the Police College
training camp to replace the “ASP and Inspector
Specialist Cadet” category under ambiguous
circumstances and without clearly defined criteria for
eligibility and in contravention of the Federal Character
as guaranteed under the Constitution.
” Upon further inquiry, our client was informed by the
Permanent Secretary of the Police Service Commission
that the recruitment exercise was over and that there is
nothing the Police management can do.”
“We decided to approach your good offices as a means
of preserving the Constitutional provisions laid down
in section 14 (3) of the 1999 Constitution which states
that:
“3 –the composition of the Government of the
Federation or any of its agencies and the conduct of its
affairs shall be carried out in such a manner as to
reflect the federal character of Nigeria and the need to
promote national unity, and also to command national
loyalty, thereby ensuring that there shall be no
predominance of persons from few States or from a
few ethnic or other sectional groups in that
Government or in any of its agencies”.
“Given the controversies trailing the 2016 Police
recruitment exercise, we urge your good offices to
properly investigate this case in order not to
jeopardize our national security or create a situation of
panic that may affect the nation negatively.”
Despite this approach, there has not been any change
in approach to issues raised by the letter.
But the shortchanged candidates said they would want
their case be investigated as to be given back their
position, unconditionally .
An aide to the chairman.of.the Nigerian Police
Commission, Chief Mike. Okiro, told emagazine.com.ng
that the case was being looked into .
“We receive a deluge of letters daily, which makes it
seem.as if there is a.delay on any matter. If their
allegation.is correct, justice must prevail,” he stated.. |

zazawaga: Simple Ways to Answer Tricky Interview Questions
A couple of years ago, my idea of a job interview was being in front of a hard, unsmiling panel and having extremely difficult questions thrown at me, like rocks. However, when I got invited for my first interview, I realized this is not always the case.
A job interview does not have to be tense. In fact, you may find yourself with a very friendly panel, who will go all out to make you feel as comfortable as possible.
However, irrespective of the size and manner of the panel you are faced with, what is required of you is confidence and of course, the appropriate answers to every question you are asked. This part is what’s tricky.
So, in this post, we’d be looking at the simple ways to answer 5 tricky questions you are likely to get in your job interview.
1. Tell Me About Yourself.
This question seems very straightforward. Usually, the first you’d be asked in an interview. However, it is tricky because though it sounds like an invitation to tell your life story, it is not.
When asked the ‘tell me about yourself’ question, what the hiring panel is actually asking you is to tell them about yourself, as it pertains to the position you are applying for.
With this in mind, you should not begin to share generic information about yourself, your family or how many siblings you have. Rather, you could start with your name, academic qualifications, present skills and strengths, previous experiences as well as future professional aspirations. You should also feel free to ask the interviewers for clarifications, just in case there are specific information they’d like to hear about.
Take this for instance:
Question: Tell us a bit about yourself.
Wrong Answer: Hmmn, where do I start? My name is Oluwaseun. I was born in the late 80s and currently married with 6 kids. …
Right Answer: My name is Oluwaseun, a second-year master’s student of marketing communications at the Lagos Business School. Prior to pursing this degree, I worked with the marketing and communications department at Shell, where I developed and honed my skills in copywriting and digital marketing. This experience really piqued my interest in this field and I look forward to an opportunity to learn more and contribute to your marketing communications department…
2. Where do you See Yourself in Five Years?
This question is tricky because you might be tempted to say everything you see yourself doing in five years and completely miss the mark. Like the first question, your answer should be much more professional than personal. What the hiring panel really wants to know is if you are going to stick with them and if you are worth the investment of training.
To answer this question, you could tell them how you think the job will provide you with so many opportunities, such that in 5 years, you'd be in a particular position within the organisation. You can also explain what value you hope to have added as well as how you could also have improved yourself professionally in that time.
Take this for instance:
Question: Where do you see yourself in five years?
Wrong Answer: In five years, I’d be a millionaire, enjoying life. I’d have built a house and would probably be the CEO of this company …
Right answer: In five years, I hope to have acquired a lot of knowledge in marketing communications, as well as contributed immensely to the growth of my department and the company. I’m also looking forward to eventually taking on additional managerial responsibilities and possibly taking the lead on some projects…
3. What is your Greatest Weakness?
Like the first two, this question is also very tricky because you might be tempted to give personal, instead of professional answers.
When asked this question, what interviewers actually want to know is if or not you are consciously aware of the areas you could improve on. Your weakness does not have to be present. It could be something that you’ve already worked on, but say it anyway. I’d advise that you think about this question before the interview, so you don’t give a generic answer or be at a loss of what to say. No one would believe you if you say you have no weakness.
To answer this question, start by mentioning the weakness, how it poses a problem to your work or career and how you’ve started to work on improving.
Take this for instance:
Question: What is your greatest weakness?
Wrong answer: Hmmn, my greatest weakness is to sleep. I could sleep all day…
Right answer: I used to have to have a problem with time management and this affected me every time I tried to multitask. Currently, I’m working on this through the use of certain time management tools.
4. What did you Hate About your Last Job?
This question is tricky because you might be tempted to spill all the beans about why you hated your boss, the work, the timing - all of it! This is wrong, because as Kachi Tila-Adesina puts it, the interviewers might already begin to picture you sitting elsewhere and literally dragging their name and their organisation in the mud as well.’
To answer this question, start by saying how beneficial the job was, before going to state one or two things you could have changed, if given the opportunity. Also, explain why you think the role you are now applying for is a better fit.
If you did not hate your last job, you can say so. This response can also be adapted, just in case you are asked why you are leaving your current position.
Take this for instance:
Question: What did you hate about your last job?
Wrong answer: Ooh, my boss! I hated my boss! …
Right answer: Well, my last job did offer me an opportunity to learn and grow in my career. However, I think it would have been better if such opportunity was granted in a less hostile work environment... I believe that working here would not just give me a better opportunity to grow, but also a conducive and comfortable work environment, which is very important to growth.
5. How much are you looking to be paid?
Now, this question is tricky because well, money is involved and while you don’t want to short-change yourself, you wouldn’t want to price yourself out of range either!
I know money is very important but when asked this question, don’t jump at the opportunity to scream ‘one million naira!’ Instead, you should have done your research on the organisation you are coming into and how much is standard for the role you are applying for.
If you are aware of how much the company really wants to hire you, say because of your expertise and skills, you can negotiate your salary right there. However, if this is not the case, you’ll need to fall back on the information you’ve gathered on what the going rate is, for the position you’re being interviewed for. In the worst case scenarios, you can request to know more about the role’s responsibilities and benefits packages. You should also mention how you are willing to discuss further when the time is right.
Take this for instance:
Question: How much are you looking to be paid?
Wrong answer: I can’t take anything less than ‘One million naira’!
Right answer: That's a fair question. To answer it properly, I'd need to know more about the role’s responsibilities and benefits package. I am quite confident that knowing the reputation of the company, when the time comes, any offer you make will be competitive.”

I’ve labelled them material 1, material 2, material 3 and material 4, respectively.
