He said the CPs are Mohammed Gumel, Kano State; Haruna Garba, FCT; Tajudeen Abass, Delta; Oladimeji Olarewaju, Ogun; Taiwo Jesubiyi, Ondo State; and Julius Okoro, Benue.

Others are Romokere Ibiani, Bayelsa; Mohammed Bunu, Yobe; Garba Yusuf, Kaduna State; Garba Ahmed, Zamfara; Hayatu Ali, Sokoto State; and Aliyu Musa, Katsina State.

Ani said the Chairman of PSC, Solomon Arase, had called on the newly appointed CPs to be more dedicated to duty.

The PSC chairman urged the CPs to brace up and settle down as quickly as possible for duty ahead of the national transition period.
