Police recruitment is currently going on across Nigeria.
The Igbo socio-cultural organisation, Ohanaeze Ndigbo, has expressed concern over the “nonchalant attitude” shown by South-east youths in the ongoing police recruitment exercise in Nigeria.The Nigeria Police Force, on 13 October, announced the commencement of recruitment into the rank of police constables in the General Duty and Specialist Cadres.
The Police Service Commission , a week later, announced that it had received 288,266 applications for recruitment of constables. Mr Iwuanyanwu said it is worrisome that the Igbo youths were not interested in taking up a career in Nigeria’s security forces, unlike their counterparts in the northern part of the country.
“The lack of interest by the Igbo youths towards the Nigeria Police Force is disturbing because it is only by enlisting in the Police Force that offers the unique possibility of becoming a senior police officer in the future,” Mr Iwuanyanwu stated.
