Nigerian Police Force to Promote Officers with Advanced Qualifications
The Nigerian Police Force has directed all its commands nationwide to submit lists of officers with advanced academic qualifications as part of preparations for a promotion exercise. This includes officers with first degrees, master’s degrees, and doctorate degrees (Ph.D), as well as those with approved study postings.
The police force aims to recognize and reward officers who have acquired higher education qualifications while serving in the force. This move promotes a culture of excellence and professionalism within the police force.
Various police commands across the country have been instructed to comply immediately and submit the required lists of officers. These commands include:
– Jos
– Kano
– Ikeja
– Kaduna
– Maiduguri
– Oji-River
– Enugu
The Nigerian Police Force’s initiative to promote officers with advanced qualifications is a step in the right direction. It acknowledges the importance of education and professional development in enhancing the effectiveness of law enforcement agencies.
