A Delegation from the Police Service Commission is in Kabo, Kano State, for the need assessment of the proposed Police Service Commission Institute, a strategic innovative Police oversight short-course training Institution for Staff of the Commission and other Public Officers from across the world.

DIG Argungu had declared after inspection, that with the coming of the institute, oversight of police by the Commission would become strategic, purposeful, and result-orientated.
He said the Institute, a novel one in the continent will afford other African countries and some others across the globe the rare opportunity to equip themselves with valuable knowledge on Police sight.
The Commission team visited the site yesterday, Thursday and today, Friday (10 and 11th of October 2024) and assessed the vital needs required for the Institute to take off.
The PSC technical team was led by Solomon Jibrin, Deputy Director and Head of the Commission’s General Services Department.

Speaking at his palace, the PSC leader of the delegation, DIG Lakanu, thanked a proud son of Kabo and Deputy Senate President, Senator Jibrin Barau for facilitating the emergence of the institute with the donation of the land and facilities for its take-off.
DIG Lakanu expressed the Commission’s gratitude to the Senator and prayed that God would continue to bless him and replenish his pocket.
He noted that it is obvious that there is adequate police presence in Kano state with the Zone 1 Police Headquarters, Police Academy Wudil and now the Police Service Commission Institute Kabo.
