Kalu said the newly deployed CPs are Sunday Okoebor, Plateau, Fidelis Ogarabe, Enugu State, Sheikh Danko, Nasarawa State, and Johnson Babalola, Ondo State

He said the Chairman of the Commission, Mr Hashimu Argungu, reprented by Justice Paul Galumje, a member of PSC Board had affirmed the postings.

Argungu said the postings were in line with the provisions of Section 215(1)(b) of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

He said the provision empowers the commission to appoint CPs for each state of the Federation and the Federal Capital Territory.
