In a protest letter to President Muhammadu Buhari, the CLO said though the increased quota handed to the North-East was understandable, the quota allotted the South-South, particularly the Niger Delta states, was insignificant, given the topography of the area and the need to engage youths in the area. The CLO, in the protest letter by the Bayelsa State chapter Chairman, Chief Nengi James, noted that the quota system adopted for the recruitment exercise as released was not only faulty but also shortchanged the people of the South-South and the South-East. He said: “The fact that the money to be used to pay those recruited is from the oil money generated from the Niger Delta, the quota system released is unfair. The Niger Delta region should have been given special consideration like those in the North- East in terms of population of unemployment and the terrain. These Niger Delta states have also been shortchanged in years past. “Even the 10,000 recruitment into the police force was a disservice to the people of the region based on numbers of local government areas. It is wicked and unfair. “]]>
