The promotion exercise dubbed “New Year Gift” for members of the Police rank and file, takes effect from 1st January, 2013. 

In a release by the Force spokesperson, Frank Mba, all the beneficiaries had earlier attended and passed a special promotion course organized for them at the four premier Police Colleges located at Lagos, Orji-River, Kaduna and Maiduguri. The trainings, says Mba, were designed to prepare the personnel for the challenges and responsibilities of their new ranks.

While congratulating the newly promoted Inspectors, rank and file, the IGP charged them to see their elevation as a call to greater tasks and challenges, as they will be saddled with higher responsibilities. He reminded them of the need to be more dutiful, disciplined, courageous and patriotic in the discharge of the responsibilities of their new ranks.
