The appointment of new police commissioners for Bayelsa and Borno states has been authorised by the Police Service Commission (PSC).
Alausa Hakeem Tolani for Bayelsa State and Yusuf Mohammed Lawal for Borno State are the new Commissioners.
The Commission approved the appointments at the continuation of its 21st Plenary Meeting, holding at its Corporate Headquarters in Jabi, Abuja.
PSC Chairman Dr Solomon Arase, while charging the new Commissioners to ensure that the vision of Mr President for improved national security is accorded the required attention, said the war against terror and terrorism in Nigeria must be won.
He urged them to restrategise and take over the public space currently being distorted by non-state actors and assured that the Commission will continue to create the enabling environment for the Officers to give off their best, adding that the security of Nigeria and Nigerians must remain a priority for our national growth.
