The Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC), DIG Hashimu Argungu (Rtd), mni, has congratulated the new set of police constables who graduated today from various police training colleges across the country, describing their passing-out as a proud moment for Nigeria and the Nigeria Police Force.
Argungu, in a message released by the Head of Press and Public Relations of the Commission, Mr. Ikechukwu Ani, said the new officers represent a fresh generation of police personnel expected to embody professionalism, discipline, and respect for human rights in the discharge of their duties.
He reminded the constables that the Police Service Commission, which constitutionally supervises recruitment into the Nigeria Police Force, is proud to have overseen their admission into the policing profession. He assured that the Commission will continue to monitor their conduct, performance, and adherence to professional ethics as they begin their service to the nation.
The PSC Chairman urged the recruits to contribute actively to ongoing national efforts to combat terrorism, curb banditry, and secure communities across the country. He further challenged them to strengthen public trust and rebuild citizens’ confidence in the Nigeria Police Force through integrity-driven service delivery.
Argungu emphasized that professionalism, discipline, and respect for the rights of citizens must remain the cornerstone of their operations, adding that no effective policing system can exist without fairness and accountability.
He also reiterated the Commission’s unwavering commitment to supporting the career growth and capacity development of police officers, noting that the institution is determined to build a modern police force that Nigerians can be proud of.
“Today marks the beginning of your noble career in service to your fatherland,” he said. “I urge you to serve with honour, courage, and patriotism. Your success will bring pride to your families, the Police Force, and our great nation.”
The Police Service Commission reaffirmed its resolve to work closely with the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies to strengthen recruitment, training, and discipline towards building a more efficient and accountable policing system across the country.
