PSC approves promotion of 952 ASPs
The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the promotion of 952 assistant superintendents of police (ASPs) to the rank of deputy superintendents of police (DSPs).
The commission, however, declined the promotion of 176 officers found to have retired and three others suspected to be deceased.
Ikechukwu Ani, head of press and public relations at the PSC, disclosed this in a statement on Wednesday in Abuja.
He said the decisions were among the highlights of the first Plenary Meeting of the 6th Board of the Commission.
Mr Ani added that the commission’s approval had been forwarded to the inspector-general of police (I-G) for implementation.
The PSC chairman, Hashimu Argungu, congratulated the newly promoted officers.
Mr Argungu, however, warned that henceforth, police personnel must imbibe the spirit of nationalism and respect both the nation’s laws and police service regulations.
The PSC chairman stressed the commission would no longer tolerate diversionary or unauthorised actions by serving officers, particularly when established channels exist to air grievances.
Mr Argungu reaffirmed the commission’s commitment to protecting officers’ career progression, ensuring it was neither hindered nor undermined.
