The PSC Chairman, Dr Solomon Arase, who called for greater dedication to national duty from the new State Command Commissioners, said the new posting comes with a lot of commitment and innovativeness and demands of them total loyalty to the Nigerian nation.

Arase noted that during this national transition period, the new CPs must brace up for challenges in the course of their duties, adding that they should quickly settle down to duty and tackle the security challenges in their respective states of posting.

He said the PSC will monitor their stewardship in their various commands and ensure that they do not derail from established rules and regulations.

The PSC boss, however, wished them well and promised the Commission’s support at all times.
