Do we need any more statistics to tell us the level of unemployment in Nigeria? No, I don’t think so, the numbers speak for themselves.
…843,008 applicants as at 2nd of May against the approved 10,000 recruits required and the exercise will still be open for the next 10 days. Who are they waiting for to close the exercise, another 15,450 applicants? Is 10,000 a match for 843,008?
Lolzz… Police, i hope those they were recruiting with threat the civilians properly and do away with bribery, because it begins with them..
I believe The police recruitment agaency needs proper screening fro the aspire policemen before they will brings in people that dont care where they shoot and also people that shoot aimlesly before they will start killing innocent Nigerians
