IGP Decorates 24 AIGs With New Ranks

The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, has
decorated 24 Assistant Inspectors General of Police with new ranks
at the Force Headquarters in Abuja on Monday.

This is the first phase in the decoration exercise for 167
Senior Police Officers recently approved by the Police Service
Commission following their recommendation by the IGP.

Force Public Relations Officer, CP Frank Mba, in a statement
said the IGP decorated the AIGs while announcing the new Nigeria
Police Manpower Development Policy

He said, “The IGP noted that the Manpower Development Policy of
the Force is a deliberate protocol to identify, elevate, and
position professionally competent officers who will act as the
Strategic Police Managers that will drive the new policing vision
and give effect to strategies at responding to current and emerging
security threats in the country. The Policy also prioritizes human
capacity development and welfare of Police Officers for better
police service delivery.

“The IGP, while congratulating the newly promoted officers,
charged them to deploy their wealth of experience to support his
leadership mission of positively changing the policing and internal
security narratives in the country. He also encouraged the officers
to discharge the schedules of their new rank within the dictates of
the law and the policing expectations of the citizens.

“The IGP expressed his appreciation to His Excellency, President
Muhammadu Buhari, GCFR for consistently committing to the Nigeria
Police Reform Agenda. He thanked the Police Service Commission for
supporting and aiding the new human capacity development of the
Force and equally appreciated the Honourable Minister of Police
Affairs, the Senate and House Committees on Police Affairs, for
their support to the police modernisation, re-orientation and
re-equipment drive.”
