…Commission Has Restored The Dignity Of The Specialists Cadre, Says Arase

The Police Service Commission has approved the promotion of 1607 Deputy Superintendents of Police to the next rank of Superintendents.

The Commission had earlier stepped down the consideration of the Officers promotion at its last Management meeting where other recommendations were considered, when it noticed some discrepancies in the list.

The promotion of the DSPs to SPs saw the elevation of 158 Officers in the Professional cadre which included 105 in the Communication unit, 22 in Transport, 10 Medical officers, nine Nurses and another nine from Works.

The other professionals promoted to Superintendents were six Workshop Officers, three Maritime, and one each from Medical and Dental units and Band.

A total number of 1423 DSPs were promoted in the General Duty cadre.

Chairman of the Commission, Dr. Solomon Arase, CFR, Retired Inspector General of Police said the Commission has restored the dignity of the Specialists cadre in the Nigeria Police Force.

Dr. Arase said the Commission will continue to give equal opportunities to all cadres in the Nigeria Police Force adding that the era where Specialists are stagnated in one rank is now history. He noted that the Nigeria Police Force needs these Specialists for efficient and effective Policing and promised that the Commission will continue to accord them the required privileges.

He also noted that the General duty Officers will continue to receive the support of the Commission in the area of prompt and regular promotions.

He challenged the newly promoted officers to reciprocate the Commission’s gesture by rededicating themselves to the service of the nation.

Dr. Arase warned that the Commission will not hesitate to discipline any of the Officers who undermines the ethics, rules and regulations guiding their conduct.

He also warned them to stay clear of land matters and recovery of rents and other minor issues that can be resolved through alternative dispute resolution or legal processes.

“You need to concentrate in helping the nation win this war against insurgency and banditry and also remember that the Police is the lead Agency in internal security”, he admonished them.
