FG to recruit 30,960 community security officers

The Federal Government is to recruit 30,960 graduates as community security officers to drive implement the policy of Community Safety and Human Security Programme (CSHSP) in Nigeria.

Each of the 774 local governments in the country will have 40 of the officers.

“This is to expand the narratives and intelligence towards community safety, first at the local level which in most instances act as a springboard for all major violence and conflicts that escalate to national acrimony.”

Akume, who chairs the committee, said the programme was also designed to generate over 30, 000 jobs for the youths and create skilled manpower for over 50,000 women across Nigeria.
