The directive, according to the Upper Chamber, should form part of its annual recruitment processes.
The resolution was reached as a result of a motion moved by Emmanuel Memga, representing Benue North East, on the need for the PSC and the NPF, to adhere to the Federal Character Principle in the recruitment of constables in the Force.
The Upper Chamber also directed the Committees on Police Affairs and Legislative Compliance to ensure compliance.
This is as a bill for an act to establish the National Assembly Budget and Research Office, scaled second reading.
If eventually passed, the bill sponsored by the Deputy Senate President, Barau Jibrin, will provide the National Assembly with objective, timely and non-partisan analysis needed for economic and budget decisions.
