PSC sends new commissioners' names to IG

According to a statement issued by PSC Head of Press and Public Relations Ikechukwu Ani, the approved postings have been conveyed to Inspector General of Police (IGP) Olukayode Egbetokun for implementation.

The appointments of the new police chiefs are expected to boost the fight against insecurity in the states. Abia and Ebonyi are parts of the Southeast states confronted with the activities of the proscribed IPOB.

While Lagos is a southwest state, Akwa-Ibom is South-South. The two states have different security challenges confronting them, and they are expected to be tackled by the new commissioner.
