This news is stale nah.
Daily trust reported it on Monday 10th, while the blogger you quoted is just waking up today.
What people are interested on now is the outcome of yesterdays meeting between Okiro, Ibrahim and PMB.

Region:
There were strong indications yesterday that the Police Service Commission (PSC) may have suspended the final phase of selecting 10,000 successful candidates for recruitment into the Nigeria Police. New Telegraph gathered from highly placed sources that the decision to suspend the last phase (final selection) was informed by pressure from some National Assembly members.

The bone of contention, it was gathered, is the alleged demand that the Commission adopt the “local government by local government” arrangement. This request was said to have been rejected by the Commission, which insisted on sticking to the “state-by-state” tradition, in accordance with the federal character principle. Investigations further revealed that the Inspector- General of Police (IGP), Mr. Ibrahim Idris, had allegedly written to the PSC, wherein he was said to have reminded the Com-mission that it (PSC) has since ceded the power to recruit Constables to the Police.

It was learnt that the Commission had ceded that responsibility to the Force Headquarters, but with the understanding that it will be carried out in conjunction with the PSC. This was even as it was alleged that some officers working with the Commission in Jigawa State, where the commissioners and the Chairman, Sir Mike Okiro, had temporarily relocated to, were allegedly withdrawn. Okiro and his commissioners were said to have moved to Jigawa State to stave-off pressure, thereby selecting the “best” for the Police.

One of the sources, who spoke in confidence with this newspaper, said the chairman and other commissioners have since left Jigawa. “I’m not speaking to you officially, but I want to inform you that the Commission has suspended the last phase, which is the final selection of the 10,000 successful candidate for training.

“The suspension – please note this – of this phase, is because the signals the Commission is getting is not clear at all. Some highly placed personalities are insisting that the local government-by-local government arrangement be adopted.

The leadership of the Commission insisted on sticking to the state-bystate tradition, which, they believe, is what the constitution and the federal character principle favour,” he said. Asked to name who these “highly placed personalities” are, the source said: “The chairman of one of the Committees in the House of Representatives (name withheld) had called to make the demand. He insisted, and even went to the extent of saying it is not the job of the Commission to recruit.

“The chairman and his commissioners were doing final selection where nobody will disturb them.” According to him, “they chose Jigawa State because they wanted a quiet place to enable them select the best.”

Another source told New Telegraph that: “Usually, when the Commission is doing recruitment, they call the Police, like the senior officer or officers in charge of training, police doctors and tailors to take measurements.”

Asked what will happen now that the final selection, which was to be concluded this week, has been put on hold, he noted: “The Commission needs to know the position of the Presidency, which will guide our direction. “As I speak with you, our Chairman and the Senate Committee Chairman on Police Affairs are still trying to have an appointment with Mr. President, who is the final authority on this matter.”

The source alleged that: “Representatives of the Police (Force Headquarters) were there, including the Jigawa CP, but they were withdrawn last Friday.” New Telegraph was still expecting a reply to a text message sent to the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), Mr. Don Awunah, a Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP), as at the time of filing this report.

Out of the 10,000 personnel to be recruited, 500 are Cadet Assistant Superintendents of Police (ASPs), 500 will be Cadet Inspectors, 1,500 will be specialist officers, while 7,500 will be Constables.

Nothing is new here.
Outcome of the meeting between Okiro, Ibrahim and PMB is unknown yet.

oga! whatever the case is, your script has long been marked and ur score entered. No argument here will change that. But I would want you to examine the word used in the headline "senate ASKS" and think why they didn't use "senate TELLS."

I am telling you that most people are confusing" decision making" with 'law making'.

If they are the highest, they (Senate and reps) should have suspended the recruitment not recommending to the president who possibly will discuss it at the executive council meeting.

Looking forward to God's favor for the race is not for the swift.

The word ORDER is relative. In this case it is SUGGESTIVE. Why would they draft to PMB too. why not just draft to PSC since they are the ones incharge of the process. LET ME TAKE YOU DOWN MEMORY LANE.


1. Last year, PMB(with members of fec ) DECIDED there was a need to recruit 10,000 officers.

The above shouldn't be news to you as a Nigerian, what should be news to you is that,

1.If PMB(with members of fec) does not see any reasonable reason to suspend the process, then it continues.

This is not an amendment of constitution. The duty of the senators in this process is to make sure that federal character plays.

And who told you they've met??

Newspaper (NewTelegraph and DailyTrust) report has it that they were suppose to meet with the President to get a final directive on the contentious issue of state-by-state or local govt-by-local govt selection.

I don't know if they have met with the President or not. I am not in a position to know.

President Muhammadu Buhari has waded into the clash between the Senate and the Police Service Commission (PSC) over the recruitment of 10,000 personnel into the police force, Daily Trust has gathered.

The Senate had week ago wrote the PSC, demanding the suspension of the recruitment over alleged irregularity in the exercise.

It was gathered that the Senate demanded the suspension over the criteria adopted by the PSC for the selection of the personnel.

Source told our correspondent that while the Senate said the selection should be based on local government areas, the PSC insisted that it must be done on the basis of equality, per state.

Speaking to our correspondent, the chairman of the Senate Committee on Police, Senator Abu Ibrahim (APC, Katsina South) confirmed that President Buhari has waded into the clash.

“We want the selection to be based on local government because of community policing. For the rank and file, we said 9 persons be selected per local government while for the officers, we said it should be based on state.

“It is not truth that we want to take over the police recruitment. How can we do that? All we are saying is that the selection of personnel from Inspectors downward be based on Local Government to advance community policing in this country. It is only through it that we can police the country effectively, "he said.

He said a final decision would be taken next week when President Buhari arrives from a foreign trip.

I think the issue here is with inspector cadre and constables not ASPs but whatever the case may be, let us in our various domains pray to God for the list to be released and not suspended. What am sure of is that this recruitment process won't be suspended unless God doesn't hears and answers prayer again. Phil 1:6 made me to understand that " for this I am confident that he that started a good work in my life will surely perfect it. suspension is not perfection therefore psc won't suspend this process. if you believe join me to remind God his promises, am sure he won't fail us. shalom.

I never knew FG recruitment take this long...all is well

From what is going on now, i think all specialists will be ASP! Or what do you think?

What this senator fails to understand is that there is nothing like state or community police in Nigeria's constitution.
NPF is a Federal govt establishment, and even if you recruit a constable from a local govt in bayelsa the Fed govt could redeploy such recruit to kano where we have more lga and more population. What federal character stipulates is an equal representation of man power per state.
Senator Ibrahim's argument could easily be defeated, by any PSC official that knows his onions.

Why recruitment of 10,000 police ran into hitch – Senator by Onyedi Ojiabor, Abuja, October 13, 2016 at 4:59 pm in News Update Chairman, Senate Committee on Police Affairs, Senator Abu Ibrahim, 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.

Why recruitment of 10,000 police ran
into hitch – Senator
by Onyedi Ojiabor, Abuja, October 13, 2016 at
4:59 pm in News Update
Chairman, Senate Committee on Police Affairs,
Senator Abu Ibrahim, 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

“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.”

This senator is just talking nonsense. Is Nigeria now practicing community policing? This is too annoyingly and it goes to show the kind of illiterates we have in the national assembly. He is the one championing this course for his northern brothers and not the police. Who is he trying to deceive?

Let other senators from the South just sit down dere and be looking like mumu, while deir northern counterpart are runsing thingz. They need to stand up also
