PSC approves new appointment date for Police graduates

Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved a new date of appointment for graduates of the Police Academy Wudil, Kano State.

The new date was approved during the plenary meeting of the PSC in Abuja on Tuesday.

According to a statement issued and made available to The Star on Wednesday by the PSC spokesperson, Ikechukwu Ani, the plenary issued warning letters to all stakeholders involved in the enrollment of persons into the Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPS) to “henceforth desist from capturing for payments any police new intake without an appointment letter issued by the commission.”

“The commission approved that the date of appointments for graduates of the Police Academy would henceforth be the dates they graduated from the Academy.

“The commission also approved that the graduands’ date of confirmation shall be two years after graduation but on the condition that they sit for and pass the compulsory confirmation and promotion examination.

“The commission according to the plenary decision shall be responsible for conducting the compulsory confirmation and promotion examination for the officers.

“On the enrollment of police officers into the IPPIS platform for payment without appointment letters from the commission, the Plenary decided that all stakeholders involved in this illegal act should be notified in writing on the dangers of this anomaly and possibly legal implications,” Ani added.

He further quoted the acting PSC Chairman, Justice Clara Ogunbiyi (rtd.), as saying the commission will continue to work to ensure that the Nigeria Police Force is properly positioned to contribute effectively to nation-building and security.

Justice Ogunbiyi commended members for their commitment to service and preparedness to give their best in the pursuit of the common good of Nigerians.

The PSC’s plenary which would end on Thursday was presided over by Justice Ogunbiyi and attended by all the members of the commission.
