PSC NAMES 13 NEW AIGS, CLEARS 93 POLICE PROMOTIONS

The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the appointment of 13 new Assistant Inspectors-General of Police (AIGs) and the promotion of 93 senior police officers as part of ongoing efforts to strengthen leadership within the Nigeria Police Force.

According to the commission, the promotions followed due consideration of eligible officers based on established guidelines, performance records, and available vacancies.

The newly appointed AIGs are expected to assume strategic leadership responsibilities aimed at improving operational efficiency, coordination, and service delivery across various police formations.

The PSC stated that the promotion exercise reflects its commitment to rewarding merit, professionalism, and dedication to duty within the force.

Police authorities noted that regular promotions are essential for boosting personnel morale, motivating officers, and enhancing institutional effectiveness.

Security analysts believe the appointments could strengthen command structures and improve the force’s capacity to address emerging security challenges nationwide.

The commission urged the promoted officers to uphold the highest standards of integrity, discipline, and professionalism in the discharge of their responsibilities.

Stakeholders also called on the newly promoted officers to justify the confidence reposed in them through improved public service and respect for the rule of law.

The exercise forms part of broader reforms aimed at modernising the Nigeria Police Force and enhancing public confidence in law enforcement.

The PSC reaffirmed its commitment to promoting transparency, accountability, and excellence in the management of police personnel.
