PSC Commences Nationwide Inspectors’ Promotion Interviews Without Hitches: “This Is the Time to Get It Right,” Says Chairman

The Police Service Commission (PSC) has successfully launched the Departmental Selection Board (DSB) interview for Inspectors eligible for promotion to the next rank. The exercise began smoothly across various Police Zonal Command Headquarters on Monday, May 19, 2025.

Chairman of the Commission, retired Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) Hashimu Argungu, mni, who led a supervisory delegation to Zone 7 Headquarters in Abuja, praised the seamless commencement of the exercise. “This is the time to get it right,” he emphasized, underscoring the importance of a transparent and merit-based promotion process.

DIG Argungu stressed that the transition from the rank of Inspector to Superintendent is a significant career milestone that demands rigorous scrutiny and adequate preparation. He noted that no negative incidents had been reported from any of the participating zones.

“The Commission is committed to building a credible, efficient, and effective Police Force that reflects national values. To do that, we must begin with foundational reforms—starting with recruitment, promotion, and disciplinary systems,” he said.

The PSC Chairman, who also serves as the National Coordinator of the exercise, is joined by key Commissioners overseeing different regions:

Justice Paul Adamu Galumje (Rtd), former Justice of the Supreme Court and Commissioner representing the Judiciary, is supervising the exercise in the Northern Zone from Yola.

DIG Taiwo Lakanu, fdc, representing the Police in the Commission, is overseeing the South West and South South zones from Lagos.

Chief Onyemuche Nnamani, Secretary to the Commission, is supervising proceedings in the South East from Ukpo, Anambra State.

While most zones commenced the interviews as scheduled, a few experienced slight delays due to pressing national engagements. Zone 12 (Bauchi) and Zone 11 (Osogbo) are set to begin today, with the latter adjusting its schedule to accommodate an inter-state border crisis meeting between Osun and Oyo States. Zone 13 (Ukpo, Anambra) will commence on Wednesday.

Candidates who successfully pass the interview process will be promoted to the rank of unconfirmed Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP).
