Salary Upgrade: You Must Redouble Your Effort, IGP Warns Police Personnel

The Inspector General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, has warned
police personnel to redouble their efforts and be more committed to
guaranteeing adequate security across the country.

He gave the warning in a statement issued on Tuesday in Abuja by
the Force Public Relations Officer, Mr Jimoh Moshood.

The police boss’ directive comes one day after President
Muhammadu Buhari approved Rank Salary Structure Adjustment for
police personnel across the country.

Mr Idris asked the personnel to be more dedicated to duty and
efforts towards reducing crimes and criminalities in the country to
the barest.

He stressed the need to reciprocate the President’s good gesture
and concern for the police, noting that to whom much is given, much
is expected.

The IGP warned that the Force would not tolerate any lapses,
dereliction of duty and other unprofessional conducts from any
officer in the discharge of their official responsibilities.

He thereafter directed Commissioners of Police and their
supervisory Assistant Inspector Generals of Police to educate their
personnel on the newly approved Rank Salary Structure
Adjustment.

The police boss disclosed that training and seminar have been
held for officers in charge of the mechanised salary section,
police accountants and auditors attached to all police formations
across the country, on the modalities for implementation of the
newly approved Rank Salary Structure Adjustment.

He insisted that the renewed commitment of the Nigeria Police
Force to reducing crimes and criminalities in the country remain
unequivocal and unwavering.

Mr Idris had assured President Buhari when he visited him on
Monday that the police would ensure a secure environment for free,
fair and credible elections in 2019.
