In a statement by the PSC, the commission’s chairman, Dr. Solomon Arase, a retired inspector-general of police, said the postings as recommended by the acting inspector- general of police were on the average, fair and commended the IGP for the inclusion of women.

Dr. Arase advised that the acting IGP should consider the disadvantaged geo-political zones while forwarding  subsequent  proposals  for the commission’s ratification.

The commission urged the IGP to include more officers of North East and South East geopolitical zones that are yet to record the benchmark of 15 percent  as decided at its last plenary meeting.
