The Police Service Commission (PSC) says it has approved the appointment of new commissioners of police (CPs) for 11 states and the federal capital territory (FCT).
The new commissioners of police are: Mohammed Gumel posted to Kano; Haruna Gabriel Garba to the FCT; Tajudeen Abass (Delta); Oladimeji Yomi Olarewaju (Ogun); Taiwo Jesubiyi (Ondo) and Julius Okoro (Benue).
Others are, Romokere Ibiani (Bayelsa); Mohammed Bunu (Yobe); Garba Yusuf (Kaduna); Garba Ahmed (Zamfara); Hayatu Ali (Sokoto) Aliyu Musa (Katsina).
Ikechukwu Ani, the spokesperson for PSC, in a statement released on Tuesday, said Solomon Arase, chairman of the commission, urged the newly appointed CPs to be more dedicated to their duty.
He said the new posting was a call for greater commitment, innovation, and loyalty to the Nigerian nation, adding that the CPs should brace up and settle down as quickly as possible for duty ahead of the national transition period.
Following his appointment as the chairman of the commission, Arase had said that he was aiming to reshape the ability and perception of the police force.
Arase said the officers would be made to undergo more training and ensure discipline to bridge the trust gap between the force and the public.
