PSC Approves the Appointment of Three DIGs

The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved the appointment of three Assistant Inspectors-General of Police to the rank of Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG).

The Commission’s Spokesman, Ikechukwu Ani, in a statement stated the new DIGs were expected to fill the vacant duty posts created due to the retirements of three DIGs representing the North-central, North-east and North-west geo-political zones.
It said the approval of the appointments of the new DIGs has also ensured that the defined succession policy in the Nigeria Police was sustained.
AIG Hafiz Mohammed Inuwa, the Force Secretary, will be replacing retired DIG Mustapha Dan-Daura for the North-west slot.

The new appointments were part of the decisions of the reconvened 18th Plenary Meeting of the commission, which held in Abuja on Thursday, 2nd and Friday 3rd February, 2023, chaired by the Acting Chairman, Justice Clara Bata Ogunbiyi (rtd).
