Arase Takes Charge as PSC Chairman Today

Former Inspector-General of Police, Dr. Solomon Ehigiator Arase, will be sworn in today as the fifth Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC).

The former IGP will take his oath of office before President Muhammadu Buhari at the Council Chamber.

The event will be before the commencement of the weekly Federal Executive Council meeting usually chaired by the President.

Arase is replacing the former PSC Chairman, Alhaji Musiliu Smith, who resigned on September 17, 2022, at the height of a controversy between the Commission and the Nigeria Police Force under the current Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Usman Alkali Baba.

The lingering crisis over the recruitment of police constables, as well as moves by the National Assembly to transfer constitutional powers and the mandate of the PSC, as an oversight body, to the Inspector General’s Office, hit a crescendo with the appointment of Arase as Smith’s successor in January this year.
