Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), retired Deputy Inspector-General of Police Hashimu Salihu Argungu, has called for a comprehensive review of the underlying challenges affecting the Nigeria Police Force as the country weighs the establishment of state police.
Argungu made the remark while receiving members of the Committee for the Implementation of State Police, led by its Chairman, Professor Olu Ogunsakin, during a working visit to the commission’s headquarters.
The delegation said it visited the PSC to draw from the board’s institutional memory and professional experience, noting the commission’s central role in Nigeria’s policing framework.
Ogunsakin described the committee’s assignment as a demanding one, stressing that its success would depend on the guidance and insights of the commission.
“We cannot do it alone without tapping into the wisdom of the PSC. We are here to draw from your wealth of knowledge regarding the task before us to review the landscape, structure and foundation that will assist the Nigeria Police Force to move forward,” he said.
He also described the PSC chairman as a “fountain of knowledge.”
