The Nigeria Police Force has promoted 160 police personnel in Zamfara State.
This comes after their efforts to raise the morale and motivation of police officers on the front lines in the battle against insecurity in the state.
Mohammed Dalijan, the Zamfara State Commissioner of Police, honoured the recently promoted police personnel with their new ranks.
The Commissioner of Police, speaking to the newly decorated officers on Friday at the State Police Command headquarters, stated that the promotion was part of continuous efforts to bolster the morale and motivation of police on the front lines in the battle against insecurity in the state.
Dalijan added that the promotion was not just a reward for previous accomplishments, but also a call to double down on police duty in the face of continued security threats.
He said:
“You should be very grateful that the police authority found you worthy to be promoted to the next level. This promotion is to change the way you do things, the way you think, the way you plan and operate—everything should reflect your new rank. To whom much is given, much is expected.
“We will give you new roles to play that will reflect your new rank. You have to pray hard because there are a lot of expectations. We expect better performance, and better crime-fighting strategies must be adopted for us to recognize that, yes, you are wearing new ranks.”
The commissioner urged the recently promoted police personnel to redouble their efforts in combating banditry, emphasizing that their higher levels come with additional duties.
84 Assistant Superintendents of Police II (ASP II) were promoted to Assistant Superintendent of Police I (ASP I), and 76 Inspectors to Assistant Superintendent of Police II (ASP II).
