The Chairman of Police Service Commission (PSC), Musiliu Smith has resigned his position.
The Commission’s Spokesperson, Ikechukwu Ani, confirmed his resignation to newsmen, on Wednesday.
Ani disclosed that Smith’s resignation was on health grounds, and the development was accepted by President Muhammadu Buhari.
“He resigned on his own on medical grounds and the president has accepted his resignation,” Ani said.
Ani noted that the commission was yet to issue an official statement on Smith’s resignation.
Smith, whose tenure is scheduled to end in July 2023, served the commission for over four years.
His resignation came amid the long disagreement between the commission and the Nigeria Police Force on recruitment matters
The commission and the Office of the Inspector-General of Police had been at loggerheads over which body has the right to conduct the recruitment into the Force.
