The Chairman, Police Service Commission (PSC), Dr. Solomon Ehigiator Arase, has hailed President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for approving the recruitment of 30,000 new personnel into the Nigeria Police Force.
He said the gesture would help not only in sustaining peace and security but also check the proliferation of small arms and lethal weapons, which has been the bane of safety in the nation.
IGP Arase (retd), who was represented by AIG Ade Shinaba (retd), made the remarks while speaking as the Special Guest of Honour at the 2023 National Association of Online Security News Publishers (NAOSNP) National Security Conference at the Civic Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos.
He noted that the president has set the pace in setting security on the right path and the enlargement of the force will go a long way in checking the proliferation of lethal weapons and small arms in the country.
