The New Chairman, Police Service Commission (PSC) Solomon Arase, says security sector reforms will top the agenda of the commission under his leadership.
Speaking when the Inspector General of Police, IGP Alkali Baba, and the Police management team paid him a courtesy visit at his office, Arase urged the IGP to address the issues of backlog in disciplinary cases in the Nigerian Police Force.
In his words, “There is going to be a paradigm shift.
“It will not be good for people (officers) to be denied promotion because they have pending disciplinary issues.”
While urging the Force Disciplinary Committee, FDC, to put more efforts in addressing the challenge, the PSC chairman said: “Discipline is very key. We should not encourage anything that will breach the rules.
“Any officer who steps out of line and commits infractions should face appropriate sanctions. We will not support bad conduct. The Police is a disciplined organization. We should not give room for people to think we cover up those who commit infractions.
