The commission approved the appointments at the continuation of its 21st plenary meeting currently going on at its Corporate Headquarters in Jabi, Abuja.
Chairman of the commission, Dr. Solomon Arase, (retired Inspector General of Police) charged the new commissioners to ensure that the vision of the president, Bola Tinubu, for an improved national security was accorded the required attention.

Arase said the war against terror and terrorism in Nigeria must be won.
He called on state command commissioners to restrategise and take over the public space currently being distorted by non-state actors.
He noted that the commission would continue to create the enabling environment for the officers to give their best, adding that the security of Nigeria and Nigerians must remain a priority for national growth.
