The Police Service Commission (PSC) has screened 30 senior police officers who are due for promotion at the headquarters of the commission in Abuja on Monday.

The officers included one assistant inspector general of police, two commissioners, eleven deputy commissioners, and 16 assistant commissioners out of the 17 invited for the exercise.

The promotion examination took place at Solomon Arase conference hall, at the 6th floor of the Corporate Headquarters of the Commission.

Spokesperson of the commission, Ikechukwu Ani, said chairman of the commission, DIG Hashimu Argungu (rtd), noted that the promotion examination was one of the innovations that has come to stay in the career progression of serving police officers.

He noted that although it was coming late in the day, it was still a good development that is expected to restore the dignity of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

DIG Argungu (rtd) explained that any officer that fails the examination three times will be retired at that level for obvious incompetence.

He said the world as since embraced the era of skill and noted that police officers who want to advance in their career must be prepared to embrace the demands of this era.

The PSC chairman added that the commission was also giving attention to due diligence to ensure that no dead or retired officer(s) were promoted in error.
