Overview

The document is the 'Guidelines on Appointment, Promotion and Discipline in the Nigeria Police Force' (Revised Edition, 2018) published by the Police Service Commission (PSC). It outlines the policies and procedures for appointment, promotion, and discipline within the Nigeria Police Force. Key elements include: the legal basis (Section 153 of the 1999 Constitution and the Police Service Commission Act 2001), the PSC's mandate (appointment, promotion, dismissal, and disciplinary control except for the Inspector-General of Police), and the objectives (ensuring clear, fair, transparent processes based on merit and Federal Character). The document is structured into chapters covering appointment, promotion, revised policy on special promotion, and discipline. It emphasizes efficiency, discipline, and adherence to guidelines. The foreword by Chairman Sir (Dr.) Mike Okiro highlights the departure from previous separate booklets and the inclusion of the Special Promotion Policy. The guidelines aim to reposition the PSC for higher efficiency and service delivery.
