The Police Service Commission (PSC) has advised all police officers due for retirement to proceed without delay.
Rising from a management meeting on Monday, January 23, 2023 in Abuja, the commission said the ongoing campaign for the extension of the tenures of some Deputy Inspectors General (DIGs), Assistant Inspectors General (AIGs), police commissioners (CPs) and other senior police officers was an “unnecessary distraction and an affront on all the existing laws in the country guiding entry and exit in the public service”.
The PSC said there is an institutional succession plan in the Nigeria Police.
A statement yesterday by PSC’s Head of Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, said: “The Police Service Commission, the statutory Government Executive Body with the constitutional mandate to recruit, promote, dismiss and exercise disciplinary control over persons holding offices in the Nigeria Police Force (NPF), except the Inspector General of Police, wishes to assure Nigerians that there can never be any leadership vacuum in the NPF.
