The Police Service Commission, PSC, has approved the appointment of Mr Salisu Fago as the new Commissioner of Police, CP, in charge of Niger.
A statement by Mr Torty Kalu, the Head of Protocol and Public Relations of PSC, on Monday, in Abuja, said the appointment followed an interview session by the commission.
He said the chairman of PSC, Mr Mashimu Argungu, was represented at the interview session by Dr Taiwo Lakanu, the Chairman of the PSC Standing Committee on Police Matters.
Kalu said Argungu urged the new CP to remain neutral and to develop a workable strategy, including intelligence-led and community-based policing to combat crime and criminality in Niger.
He said the new CP was appointed into the Nigeria Police Force on June 10, 1994 as a Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police.
Kalu said Fago holds a BSc degree in Education and is a member of the International Association of Chiefs of Police.
He said the new CP attended several professional courses, including the Advanced Intelligence Detective Course, PMF Commanders Training Course, and Tactical Leadership Command Course.
“Bringing over three decades of operational and administrative experience to his new role, Fago has served as OC SIB, Kano and Katsina and AC CID, Katsina.
“He takes over from Adamu Elleman, following the latter’s retirement from service,” he said.
