The Police Service Commission (PSC) has approved salary payments for the 2021/2022 recruits who passed out of the Police Colleges and have been in formal work in different Police Commands and formations since the past six months without salary.

PSC Chairman Dr. Solomon Arase, who was a former Inspector General of Police, said the Commission’s decision was reached in the interest of national security anchored on the need to amicably resolve the lingering issues of recruitment between the Commission and the Nigeria Police Force which have occasioned untold hardship on the Police Constables.

He said the Commission’s prompt response also followed outcry and appeals from Nigerians that the 2021/2022 Police recruits who are yet to be enrolled into the Federal Government’s Integrated Payroll and Personnel  Information System, IPPIS, and who had not received salaries, six months after they passed out from the Police Colleges and duly posted to Police Commands and formations for active Police work, are not made victims of the face off between the Commission and the Nigeria Police Force.
