In the midst of all the crises going on, something remarkable happened at the Police Service Commission (PSC) recently.
The list of candidates to be recruited into the Nigeria Police Force as Cadet Inspectors and Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police released by the Police Service Commission, is generating controversy because those who did not make the list are alleging favouritism.
But a closer look at the figures released by the PSC indicate that business-as-usual was successfully killed in the examination process, making it impossible for Nigerians in positions of authority to impose their children on the system as was the case in the past.
Reacting to the numerous complaints, the Commissioner in charge of Information in the PSC, Comfort Obi, disclosed that the processes that led to the recruitment exercise were very credible.
"Anybody’s name you saw on the list came on merit. And to let you know how transparent the process was, the son of the Inspector-General of Police, Hafiz Ringim, and my first cousin could not make the list... In Imo State, the person that came first is the son of a nobody."
She said the recruitment exercise exposed the rot in the nation’s educational system as many who paraded second Class Upper degrees could neither write well nor expressed themselves verbally.
