PSC took the decision at its 17th plenary meeting, which ended in Abuja and presided over by its acting Chairman, Justice Clara Bata Ogunbiyi, rtd.
The Commission also approved the conversion of 301 ICT professionals to General Duty.
It earlier approved the Special Promotion of CSP Daniel Amah to the next rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police for his exemplary conduct in rejecting a bribe of $200,000,00 (Dollars) in the course of his duty as the Divisional Police Officer in Bompai Kano State.
CSP Amah was also presented with an Honesty and Integrity Service Award and a cash gift of N1m.
According to a statement on Thursday by the Head, Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani, the plenary meeting also approved the promotion of 48 Staff of the Commission.
Justice Ogunbiyi said the Commission will continue to ensure that appeals and petitions by aggrieved or dismissed Police Officers will be treated with dispatch so that no Police Officer is unjustly punished as a result of unnecessary delay.

Justice Ogunbiyi said there is a lot of work to be done in the Commission and demanded for greater dedication from all staff.
