POLICE officers have praised President Godluck Jonathan for nominating Sir Mike Okiro for the Senate’s approval to head the Police Service Commission (PSC).

Most of them commended the President for choosing Okiro, a former Inspector-General of Police (IGP), whom they believe will effect better changes in the security outfit.

The tenure of the incumbent chairman, DIG Parry Osayande, is expected to expire this month.

In Lagos State Police command, headquarters, Ikeja, officers and rank and file were happy and expressed satisfaction with the development. In Edo State, shouts of joy by senior and junior officers rent the air in most offices as soon as the announcement was made on Wednesday.

Assistant Inspector-General of Police (AIG) in charge of Zone 5 Benin, Hashimu Argungu, disclosed that officers under him were celebrating Okiro’s nomination.
