PSC Promotes 7,194 Inspectors, Demands More Commitment

The Police Service Commission has approved the promotion of 7,194 Police Inspectors to the ranks of Assistant Superintendents of Police II.

It was contained in a statement signed by the Head, Press and Public Relations of the PSC, Ikechukwu Ani, in Abuja.

The PSC spokesman said the commission’s approval had been conveyed to the Inspector General of Police, Mr Olukayode Egbetokun, for implementation.

Ani said the chairman of the commission, Mr Hashimu Argungu, congratulated the newly promoted officers and reminded them that their new ranks called for more commitment to national duty.

Argungu said the country was currently undergoing some positive restructuring, resulting in temporary discomfort, but called on the officers to join hands to protect the nation’s democracy.

The PSC boss pledged that the commission would continue to ensure that promotions in the Nigeria Police Force were timely and predictable.

He urged the newly promoted officers to reciprocate the gesture by conducting themselves within established laws and put in their best to address the current security challenges facing the country.
