The Police Service Commission (PSC) on Friday promoted seven (7) Assistant Inspectors-General of Police (AIGs) to the rank of Deputy Inspectors-General of Police (DIGs).

The PSC said the promotions, resulting from merit, seniority, record of service, and performance in a written examination and oral interview conducted on Friday at the Commission’s Corporate Headquarters in Abuja, are part of efforts to strengthen the leadership cadre of the Nigeria Police Force.

The newly promoted DIGs are: Zachariah Fera Achinyan, fdc (formerly AIG Zone 4, Makurdi), Zango Ibrahim Baba (formerly AIG Department of Logistics and Supply), Isyaku Mohammed (formerly AIG Armament, Force Headquarters, Abuja), and Margaret Agebe Ochalla (formerly AIG FCID Annex, Lagos).

Others are Mohammed Abdul Sulaiman, mni (formerly AIG Police Accounts and Budget, Force Headquarters, Abuja), Kenechukwu Onwuemelie, fdc (formerly AIG Zone 15, Maiduguri), and Umar Shehu Nadada, mni (formerly AIG Zone 14, Katsina).

This latest round of promotions follows the recent elevation of DIG Fayoade Adegoke to the substantive rank of DIG. He will now join the Force Management Team.

According to a statement issued by Torty Kalu, the Head of Protocol and Public Affairs at the PSC Headquarters in Abuja, the promotions became necessary to fill vacancies created by the retirement of eight (8) DIGs who previously occupied the strategic offices.

“While congratulating the new DIGs, the Chairman of the Police Service Commission, DIG Hashimu Salihu Argungu (Rtd), charged them to live up to the expectations of their new offices. He urged them to prioritize national security and foster a cordial and productive working relationship with the Commission to ensure the continued development of the Nigeria Police Force,” Kalu added.

Some of the PSC Board Members who examined the candidates included: Hon. Justice Paul Adamu Galumje, JSC (rtd); Dr. Taiwo Lakanu (DIG rtd & Chairman, PSC Standing Committee on Police Matters); and Chief Onyemuche Nnamani (Secretary to the Commission).
