President Muhammadu Buhari has asked the senate to confirm Solomon Arase, a former Inspector-General of Police (IGP), as the chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC).
Buhari’s request was contained in a letter read by Ahmad Lawan, the senate president on the floor of the upper legislative chamber on Tuesday.
The president based his request on sections 153 (1) and 154 (1) of the constitution as amended.
Arase, the 18th IGP, retired as the head of the Nigeria Police about a year after President Buhari assumed office.
