Chairman of the Commission, DIG Hashimu Argungu, rtd, said the new appointees should see their appointments as call to national service.
He implored them to be committed to Government’s drive to Stablize the nation and effectively ensure that their states are free of crime and criminality.
Argungu said the Commission will continue to monitor their progress report and will encourage them to succeed in their new endeavours.
He charged them to reciprocate Government’s gesture by rededicating themselves to the service of their fatherland.
Also, the Commission called on Nigerians to renew their faith in the country, insisting that Nigeria must be great again.
In his Christmas message to Christian faithful, Argungu noted that Nigeria is blessed with enormous material and human resources which the present Administration is currently harnessing for optimal functionality.
He said Nigerians should believe in the greatness of our nation and support the government to achieve the required dividends.
He called on Christians to use the occasion of the birth of Jesus Christ to rededicate themselves to the advancement of the ideals of nation building.
He also called for prayers against societal ills such as terrorism, banditry and kidnapping.
