By Uche Kalu
The Police Public Relations Officer, Anambra State Police Command, DSP Ikenga Tochukwu, has been promoted to a new rank of Superintendent of Police (SP) in the force.
This was contained in a press release by the Head of Press and Public Relations, Ikechukwu Ani who explained that 1,606 other persons were also promoted from the same DSP rank to the next rank of SP across the nation.
According to the statement, 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.
Other professionals promoted to Superintendents were six workshop officers, three maritime, and one each from medical and dental units and band.
A total of 1,423 DSPs were promoted in the general duty cadre.
The chairman of the commission, Dr. Solomon Arase, noted that the commission has restored the dignity of the specialists’ cadre in the Nigeria Police Force.
Dr. Arase who said that the commission will continue to give equal opportunities to all cadres in the Nigeria Police Force, added that the era where specialists are stagnated in one rank is now history.
The chairman maintained that 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 emphasised that the general duty officers will continue to receive the support of the commission in the area of prompt and regular promotions.
While charging the newly promoted officers to reciprocate the commission’s gesture by rededicating themselves to the service of the nation, he warned that the commission will not hesitate to discipline any of the officers who undermine the ethics, rules and regulations guiding their conduct.
