The Inspector-General of Police IGP Usman Alkali Baba has signed approval of 21,039 Inspectors and rank and file in his office at Force Headquarters in Abuja.
A short message from Acting Force Public Relations Officer CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi while congratulating affected officers urge them to pit in more efforts at policing Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Addressing officers and men of Zone 7 headquarters, Abuja, during his familiarization visit and inauguration of projects, Baba cautioned police officers and other security agencies to be mindful of who they associate with.
He stated, “Issues of the welfare of police personnel are paramount to me.
All members of rank and file wearing the same rank since 2017 will be promoted by Thursday.
“Commissioned officers from the rank of ASP to CSP will also be promoted but we are starting with the rank and file who are our dedicated foot soldiers.
As for what is happening in the South-East and North-Central, we are doing something to change the narrative to ensure that citizens live peacefully.”
As the nation approaches an election year, the police boss informed his personnel that they would soon be trained in election security duties in line with the Electoral Act.
Baba ordered the release of two pickup vans and computers to the zonal headquarters to enhance its operations.
