Lagos, Akwa Ibom, others get new police commissioners

The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the appointment of four substantive Commissioners of Police for Abia, Lagos, Ebonyi, and Akwa Ibom state commands.

Recall that the Lagos State CP, Adegoke Fayoade, was promoted to AIG a few days ago, while the Akwa Ibom State CP, Ayilara, lost his life to the cold hands of death.

PSC spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, who made the disclosure on Friday, noted that the appointments followed the recent promotion of some senior police officers by the Commission, which created vacancies in some state commands.

The new commissioners are Isah Danladi Nda, Abia State Command; Olarewaju Ishola Olawale, Lagos State Command; Anthonia Adaku Uche Anya, fdc, Ebonyi State Command; and Miller Gajere Dantawaye, Akwa Ibom State Command.

Chairman of the Commission, DIG Hashimu Argungu (rtd), said the new state command commissioners must be prepared to make a positive difference in the security management of their states of posting.

DIG Argungu said the Commission will monitor their performance, stressing that they should not waste time hitting the ground running.

He told the new commissioners that it is their duty to build a competitive, competent, and efficient Police Force in their states of posting, adding that the Commission will continue to encourage them for optimum service delivery.

He said their appointments should be seen as a call to greater dedication to the service of their fatherland.

The approval of the postings, signed by the Secretary to the Commission, Chief Onyemuche Nnamani, has been conveyed to the Inspector General of Police for implementation.
