In fulfilment of his promise to ensure that men and officers of the Nigeria Police Force are well motivated to perform optimally, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali Baba, has directed that machinery be put in place for the promotion of deserving Inspectors and Rank and File.
To achieve this, the IGP has directed the Deputy Inspector-General (DIG) of Police in charge of the Department of Finance and Administration to coordinate the Force Secretary for the setting up of Departmental Selection Board (DSB) for the screening and selection of deserving members of the Inspectorate cadre for recommendation to the Police Service Commission for promotion to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police II (ASP II).
In a statement by the Force Spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi (CSP), the IGP also directed the Commissioner of Police (Welfare) to compile a list of members of the rank and file who are due and deserving of elevation to their next ranks.
The statement quoted the IGP as noting that regular and timely elevation of deserving officers to their next ranks would boost the morale of officers and men of the Force.
He, therefore, charged the officers to be exemplary and exhibit professionalism in order to sustain the manpower development drive of the NPF.
