Arase admitted, in his visit to the Nigerian office of the United Nations, that discrimination against women including policewomen was real, and said the PSC needed strategic partnership with the world organisation to improve the welfare and self worth of the Nigerian policewomen.

The former Inspector General of Police disclosed that the commission under his watch would ensure a recruitment policy redirection that would see more women into the Nigeria Police so that they could compete favourably for management positions in the Force.

The PSC chairman was confronted with the absence of women in the core policy positions in the police with the glaring situation where no woman is currently a state command commissioner throughout the country.

He noted that the world has moved and that there must henceforth be equity and balance in the appointment of officers in the Nigeria Police Force.
