Chairman of the Police Service Commission, DIG Hashimu Argungu (rtd), has reminded newly promoted senior police officers that their elevation is a call to deeper responsibility, not a reward to relax.
“Promotion in the Police is not just recognition of past service, but a call to greater responsibility, discipline and sacrifice,” Argungu said at a grand reception organized by the Police Community Relations Committee (PCRC) on Thursday, September 25, 2025.
Represented by the Commission’s spokesperson, Ikechukwu Ani, the PSC boss stressed that promotions remain “merit-driven, transparent and anchored on due process”.
He urged officers to wear their new ranks “with humility, renewed vigor, and as worthy ambassadors of the Nigeria Police Force.”
Argungu also praised PCRC’s partnership with the Force, describing it as proof that “security is a shared responsibility.”
