IN recent weeks, and in typical fashion, a fresh cold war has been brewing between the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) headquarters and the Police Service Commission (PSC) over the recruitment of police constables. Following the NPF’s reaction, the PSC spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, told newsmen that the commission had taken note of the NPF’s publication with regard to the 2022 constable recruitment exercise. Incidentally, the PSC is headed by a former IGP, which should ordinarily make effective collaboration and cooperation easy and seamless. In virtually every government issue, the buck stops at a table, which should ensure that there are no petty and avoidable clashes and supremacy tussles. It is time those saddled with the responsibility of governance in the country sat up and saved Nigerians from meaningless clashes and supremacy tussles like the one between the PSC and the NPF.
