President Muhammadu Buhari has appointed former Inspector-General of Police, Musiliu Smith, as Chairman of the Police Service Commission (PSC).
Smith is to succeed former IGP, Mike Okiro.
Buhari also appointed five others as members of the PSC.
President of the Senate, Bukola Saraki, read Buhari’s letter seeking legislative confirmation of the appointment as well as members of the commission.
Musiliu Smith was appointed the Inspector General of Police on May 29, 1999.
Smith was asked to retire by then President Olusegun Obasanjo in March 2002 after the Nigerian Union of Policeman called a partially successful strike on February 1, 2002.
