Olatunji Disu, Inspector-General of Police, has approved the promotion of 17,952 junior police officers across various ranks in the Nigeria Police Force in a move aimed at boosting security and personnel welfare, enhancing morale, and rewarding professionalism, diligence, and dedication to duty.
The promotion exercise, one of the largest in recent times, affects officers serving in commands and formations across the country and is part of the Force leadership’s ongoing efforts to strengthen motivation and improve operational effectiveness within the police service.
According to a statement by Anthony Placid, Force Public Relations Officer, the exercise covers officers across three rank categories.
“A total of 165 Sergeants have been elevated to the rank of Inspector, while 73 Corporals were promoted to the rank of Sergeant. In addition, 17,714 constables have advanced to the rank of corporal.
“The promotion, which takes immediate effect, would positively impact the morale of officers and reinforce the Force’s commitment to recognising hard work and dedication among its personnel,” the police said.
