The Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Zone 11, Mr Sikiru Akande, has decorated newly-promoted police officers with their new ranks amidst cheers from their families, friends, and professional colleagues.
He performed the decoration for seven police officers at a ceremony at Zone 11 Police headquarters, Osogbo, Osun State capital.
Mr Akande charged the newly-promoted officers to braze up to the challenges ahead of them just as he enjoined them to bring their wealth of experience to bear in their new positions.
The AIG, who described IGP Baba Ahmed as a boss that is always concerned about the welfare of the police, added that the IGP’s policy was aimed at boosting the morale of police personnel for effective service delivery while it is also aimed at identifying and elevating deserving officers professionally.
He said the vision of the police force, especially under the present Inspector General of Police, is to prioritise the welfare of personnel and reward hard work with promotions.
Mr Akande, while congratulating the newly promoted police officers, charged them to reciprocate the gesture by exhibiting a high level of professionalism, civility to members of the public and respect for human rights.
He urged the officers to justify their promotions so as to earn higher positions in the future.
“Surely, promotion is a way of encouraging hard work and productivity in an organisation.
In the Nigeria Police Force, we value promotions very much. Promotion is also a way of telling you to
work harder; it is an added responsibility to all the responsibilities that you have been doing before your elevation.
“We are to work hard to see that we maintain a low level of insecurity in our zone”, AIG Akande charged the officers.
Speaking, the Osun State Commissioner of Police, Mr Kehinde Longe congratulated the newly promoted police officers just as he charged them to be more dedicated and committed to duties.
The Assistant Commissioner of Police, (ACP) Olaleye Bamigboye, who responded on behalf of the newly decorated officers, thanked the IGP Baba, the Police Service Commission and the AIG Akande, for counting them worthy for the promotion.
He promised that they would re-double their efforts to justify the confidence reposed in them.
