The Police Service Commission has approved the promotion of seven thousand, one hundred and Ninety four Inspectors of Police to the next rank of Assistant Superintendents of Police, ASP 11.

The Officers were products of the recently concluded Inspectors Board interview which took place in all the Police Zonal Command Headquarters in the country.

Chairman of the Commission,  DIG Hashimu Argungu rtd, congratulated the newly promoted Officers but reminded them that their new ranks imposes on them  a burden of greater commitment to national duty.

DIG Argungu said their promotion came at the right time when they are expected to be properly motivated to put in their best in the service of their fatherland. He noted that Nigeria is currently undergoing some positive restructuring which may have come with temporary discomfort and people’s anger but called on the Officers to join hands in ensuring that the nation’s nascent democracy is preserved. He promised that the Commission will continue to ensure that promotions in the Nigeria Police Force are timely and predictable adding that this gesture should however not be taken for granted as the Officers must reciprocate by conducting themselves within established laws and ensuring that banditry and terrorism are eliminated.

The newly promoted Officers are Ejiogu Eunice, Tiedei Deizigha, Falade Kayode, Agorua Chinedu, Noel Atuwa, Simon Oguche, Mohammed Maikuma, Somalia Maisamari, A’aron  Gama’Àiki and Adesina Bosede.
