Lagos, Akwa Ibom, others get new Police commissioners

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

Recall that 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.

Police Service Commission’s spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, who disclosed this, 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.

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

Argungu said the commission would monitor their performance, stressing that they should not waste time to hit the ground running.

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

He urged them to see their appointments as a call to greater dedication to the service of their fatherland.

The statement noted that 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.
