The pioneer Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), Chief Simeon Okeke has commended the current Chairman and retired Inspector General of Police, Dr. Solomon Arase, for a good job at the helm of affairs in the Commission.
Chief Okeke gave the commendation on Wednesday, August 16 2023, when he paid an unscheduled visit to the Corporate Headquarters of the Commission in Jabi, Abuja.
The pioneer PSC Chairman who was fascinated with the total turn- around of the Commission, pleaded with the Federal Government to assist the new Chairman offset mounting debts currently facing the Commission in the form of unpaid allowances due the staff in the course of their official duties for several years before his assumption of duty.
He noted that this little assistance from Government will motivate the staff to greater commitment to duty and ensure that Dr. Arase succeeds in his missionary duty in the Commission.
Chief Okeke who was speaking on the sidelines of his visit where he said he was impressed with what he saw of the Commission at its Corporate Headquarters said; “it is more of a pioneering work with what Arase is making of the Commission, doing it with zeal and persuasion to succeed and overcome which I know of him as a Police Officer. He has all the ingredients to overcome and his entry into this office must have been a big obstacle but he has conquered.”
He noted that Arase has made a success of his stewardship in the Commission, stressing that he was happy to see the staff in their offices and not as tenants. He called on the Staff and new Members when they are appointed, to join hands with the Chairman to regain the pride of the Commission.
