The Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase, says the police is making moves to raise funds to recruit more people into the force.
Arase made the disclosure on Wednesday in Abuja during a media briefing to announce the forthcoming National Summit on Security, to be held in partnership with the Sun newspaper.
The IG, who was represented by the force spokesman, Emmanuel Ojukwu, said Nigerians want a mass recruitment of personnel to bridge the huge deficit of policemen needed to secure the large population in the country.

Arase said, “We are making moves for funding to embark on recruitment. Recruitment is good for everybody, it will help the general system. So many youths who are not employed can be recruited and the more number we have, the better.
“But the emphasis of this summit is that every Nigerian is actually a policeman; you have a role to play; there is no way you are going to have policemen enough to police the country. There are many issues plaguing this country now and I know that if you solve the security aspect, a lot more will be appropriately dealt with.”
