As Arase Laments Lack Of Interest Of S’East Youths

Kaduna State is currently leading in the number of applications already received as at day 9 in the ongoing recruitment exercise for General Duty Constables into the Nigeria Police Force.

A press statement on Wednesday signed by Ikechukwu Ani, Head, Press and Public Relations stated that 20,259 Kaduna State youths have already completed the online applications to lead the table while Anambra State leads from behind with only 541 applications.

Following Kaduna State at the top are Adamawa State with 18,933 applications, Borno State with 18,305; Bauchi State, 16,554; Katsina State, 16,232 and Kano State has 15,888 applicants.

Next to Anambra State from the rear are; Ebonyi State, 737; Abia State, 966 and Imo State 999. Bayelsa State has 1020; Enugu State, 1036; Lagos State, 1259; Delta State 1338 and Edo State has 1526 applicants.

Meanwhile 242, 391 males have already completed their applications while only 35,405 females have registered their presence.

Dr. Solomon Arase, retired Inspector General of Police and the Chairman of the Commission, has expressed concern in the continued disinterest of South East youths in pursuing a career in the Nigeria Police Force.

Dr. Arase noted that the South East, currently a hot bed for non-state actors’ rebellion in the country should have been in the forefront to join the Nigeria Police Force and bring indigenous solution to the menace.

He called on the leadership of the zone to find a way of convincing its youths to embrace the opportunity the ongoing recruitment has provided.

The PSC Chairman said it will be difficult for anybody to listen to cries of marginalisation from leaders of the zone if they choose to remain indifferent to Government’s generous decision to offer employments to Nigerian youths into the Police Force.

He said they should maximise the remaining five weeks open for their youths to get into the train.

Even interest is dropping in the north too. Most of those who joined the military retired home to become nuisance and no productive skill learnt in the armed forces for 35 years
