Ani quoted the PSC Chairman, Dr Solomon Arase, as urging the new commissioners to ensure that the vision of President Bola Tinubu for improved national security is accorded the required attention.

Arase, a former Inspector-General of Police (IGP), said the war against terror and terrorism in Nigeria must be won, calling on state Command Commissioners to restrategise and take over the public space currently being distorted by non-state actors.

He noted that the PSC will continue to create the enabling environment for police officers to give their best, adding that the security of Nigeria and Nigerians must remain a priority for national growth.
