The
Inspector General of Police, Mr Mohammed Abubakar, has approved the
promotion of 1,944 junior police officers to their next rank.
A
statement issued by Mr Frank Mba, the Deputy Public Relations Officer,
on Friday said that all the promotions were with effect from Jan. 1.
The
breakdown of the exercise showed that 204 Sergeants were promoted to
the rank of Inspectors, 303 Corporals to Sergeants and 1,437 Constables
to Corporals.
The statement tagged the elevation as “New Year Gift’’, adding that it was in line with the ongoing reforms in the police.
It
said that all the beneficiaries had attended the four police colleges
spread across the country and passed a special promotion course
organised for them.
“The
beneficiaries of the new promotion are spread across all police
Commands and formations within the country, including the Force
Headquarters, Abuja,’’ the statement explained.
Meanwhile,
the IGP has congratulated the officers and charged them to see their
elevation as a call to duty as they would be saddled with greater
responsibilities. He described the inspectorate, rank and file officers
as the “foot soldiers’’ of the force and reiterated his commitment to
their welfare. (NAN)
