The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr Mohammed Adamu has said that a total of 41,863 police personnel had been promoted in the last 19 months.
Adamu disclosed this on Monday during the decoration of 10 newly promoted Senior Officers in Abuja.
“Since the inception of my administration as the IG in January 2019, a total of 41,863 officers and men of the Force across different ranks had been promoted to their next ranks,” he said.
He said that the promotion exercises were a strategic management approach directed at motivating the workforce in addressing current and emerging internal security threats.
Adamu said that the process had been guided by the principles of seniority, merit as well as reflective of records of discipline and invaluable experience.
The IG said the decoration followed the recent promotion of 6,601 personnel of the force by the Police Service Commission.
He said one DIG, four AIG, three Commissioners, three Deputy Commissioners, eight Chief Superintendents, 607 Superintendents, 206 Deputy Superintendents and 5,769 ASP were promoted.
