The Chairman of the Commission, Dr. Solomon Arase, CFR, retired Inspector General of Police 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 of the ongoing recruitment has provided.
The PSC Chairman said it will be difficult for any body 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.
