President Muhammadu Buhari’s nomination of Mr Solomon Arase as Chairman of the Police Service Commission has been confirmed by the Senate (PSC).
Arase’s confirmation, which took place in plenary on Wednesday, Jan. 25, followed the Committee on Police Affairs’ consideration of a report.
Chairman of the Committee, Sen. Jika Halliru (APC-Bauchi) presented the report.
Haillu said Arases’ nomination was in accordance with section 154, sub-section 1 of the 1999 constitution.
According to him, sections 2 A and B of the Police Service Commission Establishment Act 2001 also required the President to nominate Nigerians of proven integrity as members of the PSC.
He said findings from the screening by the committee showed that Arase meets the necessary legal requirements and is affirmed by the committee to be the proper person to be appointed as Chairman of PSC.
He said the committee was satisfied and impressed with how the nominee competently answered all questions posed to him.
Hilliru said that given the qualifications and relevant experience gained by Arase over the years, the committee recommends that the senate confirm his appointment as Chairman of PSC.
