The Police Service Commission (PSC) has promoted four police officers currently teaching at the Police Academy, Wudil, Kano, who have completed various academic programs and obtained Doctoral degrees.
Promoted police officers who appeared before the commission include CSP Favor Fadawag, Inspector Shide Sunday, Inspector Oparaji Benjamin Chetachi Ukwu and Inspector Benjamin Wanger.
CSP Fadawag was promoted to the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police, while three inspectors were promoted to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police.
PSC spokesperson, Ikechukwu Ani, said the promotion “is for now until he is confirmed for further appropriate appointment.”
PSC Chairman, DIG Hashimu Argungu (rtd) who chaired the extraordinary management meeting of the commission, said other police officers with additional professional certificates and those engaged in lawyer-like duties would soon be upgraded in line with public service requirements.
Argungu said the Commission would henceforth encourage competency and personal development as motivation for greater dedication and commitment to duty.
He said that the Commission will continue to promote transparency and accountability in the conduct of its constitutional mandate and assured serving police officers that their welfare, including proper appointment, will be given the Commission's attention.
The PSC Chairman emphasized that all lecturers who obtain additional certification at the Police Academy will be considered for promotion.
He also declared that while the Commission pays attention to police welfare, it will not fail to fight corruption not only in commands, departments but also in police colleges and academy.
