ASHENEWS reports that the Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), Dr. Solomon Arase says that the PSC was working towards transforming the image of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
Arase stated this in a statement issued on Friday by Ikechukwu Ani, the Head, Press and Public Relations at the PSC.
He highlighted significant progress in the relationship between personnel of the Commission and operatives of the Nigeria Police Force.
According to him, “There is now respect for the clearly defined responsibilities of the two institutions and they now operate with mutual respect and shared vision.
“I can report that I am getting listening ears and making a lot of progress; the Police Force we are building will surely be a pride of the nation.”
He said that the Commission under his tutelage has achieved appreciable progress in promoting the force in good light.
Arase assured personnel of the NPF that the Commission was committed to ensuring the implementation of promotions as and when due.
“No Police officer, whether junior or senior will be allowed to stagnate in a rank especially when there are no disciplinary issues around the Officer.
He noted that the Commission since his assumption has deliberately moved to clear all pending disciplinary matters so that Officers can have unhindered career progression.
Dr. Arase commended the Inspector General of Police for the massive promotions of the junior Police Officers who have in recent times suffered stagnation in their career progression.
He promised to continue to work for the unity and progress of both the Commission and the Nigeria Police Force.
