Who would have believed that these huge numbers will apply for Police Job in Nigeria?

Vanguard is reporting that just under three weeks since the Police Service Commission opened the portal for
applications for the 10, 000 vacancies approved by the federal government, the Commission on Tuesday disclosed it has received 705,352 applications from applicants who are seeking employment into the Force.

 President Muhammadu Buhari at last year’s National Security Summit had approved the recruitment of 10,000 police men into the nation’s Police Force to reinforce the Nigeria Police for better service.
 A statement signed the Spokesman of the Commission ;Ikechukwu Ani, gave a breakdown of the applications which revealed that “202, 427 applicants have successfully applied for the position of Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), 169,446, for the position of Cadet Inspector and 333, 479 for the position of Constables.“The Commission will be recruiting 500 Cadet Asps, 500 Cadet Inspectors, 1,500 Specialist Officers and 7, 500 Constables to meet the President’s approved 10,000 new entrants into the Force”.

Chairman of the Commission, Sir Mike Mbama Okiro, (rtd) IGP, had earlier confirmed in Abuja that the process of receiving the forms has been smooth and transparent. He explained that the Commission is committed to making the recruitment exercise a huge success, adding that the Commission will continue to make the process of the recruitment transparent. He assured the applicants of fairness and equal opportunity since the Commission is only interested in recruiting for the Police, the best brains in the society.

 Okiro said he is excited with the huge interest shown by Nigerians in entering the Police Force. PSC vows to stop impunity by officers Meanwhile, the Police Service Commission has said it will ensure accountability in the conduct of Police Officers just as it vowed to stop impunity in the line of duty of the Officers and Men of the Force. Justice Olufunlola Adekeye, retired Justice of the Supreme Court and Commissioner in the Commission conveyed the Commission’s position at a Capacity Building Workshop for the Commission’s Public Complaints Committee on Police Conduct, held in Abuja. Justice Adekeye who is also the Chairman of the Committee said the Commission will positively bridge the gap between the public and the Police through holding the Police accountable and ensuring that they conduct their duties in line with laid down rules and regulations and in consonance with the rule of law. She disclosed that the Committee has received 94 complaints from both the public and the Police since it started sitting in November 2015, adding that the Committee is already treating 23 of such cases.
The Committee Chairman commended Justice For All (J4A), an organ of the Department For International Development (DFID), for collaborating with the Commission in organizing the workshop and requested that the capacity building should be a continuous exercise so as to achieve the required result.

Healthy diet for the rainy season

Along with the showers comes the risk of various diseases like food poisoning, diarrhoea, dysentery and cholera. Again, in rainy season, digestion is generally weak. Therefore, you should eat less. It is also essential to fast once a week or fortnight. People eat some incorrect food during this time and fall sick. To protect your health, follow this dietary guideline: •Avoid heavy, salty food, as it promotes water retention and bloating. It is better to have medium or low salt food •Eat foods which are drying in nature, the most popular being corn, and oats, among others. Eating watery foods like rice and watermelon creates swelling in the body •Maintain the general hygiene while eating out and definitely avoid roadside vendors, as very few people have the high immunity to handle the bacterial overload at such places •The milk is the better diet in this season. Drink butter milk, as it improves digestion. Oily food should be taken in less quantity •Eat li...

Managing lactose intolerance in children

-
A concerned mom shared her experience with other mothers about the likely causes of diarrhoea in children: “When my daughter was two months old, she started having diarrhoea. I let this go on for a couple of days and then took her to our family doctor. The doctor told me that she has gastroenteritis (infectious diarrhoea). I was given oral re-hydration solution and Flagyl syrup. After a couple of days, she still wasn’t any better and I was at my breaking point. So, I scheduled an appointment with another doctor in order to get a second opinion. The new doctor that I now call my daughter’s pediatrician said that she didn’t think that the baby has gastroenteritis. She said that she was likely to be lactose intolerant and had colic. She told us that when a baby is developing intolerance to cow’s milk, a symptom of that is diarrhoea. So, she advised us to change her baby formula, and, immediately, the diarrhoea stopped.” Lactose (milk) intolerance happens whe...

When fibroid co-exists with pregnancy

                        Dr. Samuel Adebayo Uterine fibroid, also known as Leiomyoma, is a benign (non-cancerous) tumour of the uterus (womb). Fibroids are the most common benign tumours in females and they occur during the reproductive years. They occur in up to 50 per cent of women. The exact cause of this tumour is unknown; but some factors are associated with increased chance of developing uterine fibroid. A family history is a factor. History of fibroid developing in women of the same family or race plays a role in a woman’s life. African women have between two and three times chances of developing fibroid than white women. Also, African women develop fibroid at a younger age, usually in their 20s and above, unlike white or caucasian women where fibroid may occur in their 30s or 40s. No pregnancy or low pregnancy rate increases the risk, just as early onset of menses...
