The Police Service Commission (PSC) on Monday, September 29, 2025, conducted compulsory promotion examinations for 30 senior officers of the Nigeria Police Force as part of new career progression measures.
The exercise, held at the Commission’s headquarters in Abuja, involved one Assistant Inspector General of Police (AIG), two Commissioners of Police (CPs), eleven Deputy Commissioners (DCPs), and sixteen Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACPs).
PSC Chairman, retired Deputy Inspector General of Police Hashimu Argungu, said the examination was introduced to restore professionalism and dignity in the police force.
He stressed that any officer who fails the exam three times would be compulsorily retired, describing such failure as proof of incompetence.
“The world has embraced the era of skill, and police officers who want to advance in their careers must be prepared to meet these demands,” Argungu said.
He also assured that the Commission was applying due diligence to avoid errors such as promoting deceased or retired officers.
Present at the exercise were PSC Commissioners including retired Supreme Court Justice Paul Adamu Galumje, retired Justice Christine Ladi Dabup, retired DIG Taiwo Lakanu, retired DIG Uba Bala Ringim, and Alhaji Abdulfatah Mohammed.
The oral interviews for the officers are scheduled to hold on Tuesday, September 30, 2025.
