Nigeria Police halt recruitment of 10,000 officers approved by Buhari

The recruitment of 10, 000 men into the Nigerian Police Force as promised by President Muhammadu Buhari may wait till 2016 due to inadequate budget­ary provision.
Former Inspector-Gen­eral of Police and Chair­man of Police Service Commission(PSC), Sir Mike Okiro, announced this in Benin City at the weekend during the.....
com­missioning of the renovat­ed Ivbiotor Police Station.
He said rehabilitation of Police barracks and sta­tions across the country might precede the recruit­ment exercise.
“Police stations have been desolate for five years and before we recruit, we need to make provisions to train them, pay them sala­ries and allowances.
This was not captured in this year’s budget; hope­fully, by next year, we will begin the process,” he said.
