President Tinubu has proposed Chief Onyema Uche as the commission’s secretary and retired Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Hashim Argungu as the commission’s chairman in an effort to increase the efficiency of the Police Service Commission (PSC). Retired DIG Taiwo Lakanu has also received a nomination to join the PSC.

Senate President Godswill Akpabio read the nominations in two different letters during the plenary session of the Senate. This occurs after Tinubu took over as PSC chairman on June 10th, succeeding retired Inspector General of Police Solomon Arase.
Argungu, Uche, and Lakano’s nominations have been forwarded to the Senate Committee on Police Affairs for additional legislative work, while the Senate has referred Bello’s nomination request to the Committee for Trade and Investment.
The committees are to submit their reports on these appointments within a week.
President Tinubu’s dedication to guaranteeing competent leadership in important institutions that are vital to maintaining stability is demonstrated by these nominations.
