The Inspector-General of Police, Suleiman Abba,
has warned personnel threatening to embark on
strike over unpaid arrears of promotion of dire
consequences of breaching extant rules and
regulations.
Abba said that he was miffed that the officers had
threatened to recourse to “unapproved channels
to air their perceived grievances".
“As expected, every promotion attracts some
financial benefits, and which have been deeply
considered in the course of processing and
approving the promotions.
“For the avoidance of doubt the Nigeria Police
Force is working assiduously with relevant
government departments and agencies to effect
the payment of the promotion arrears. All
promoted officers have since Jan. 2015 been
enjoying the salaries attendant on their new
ranks," he said.
This is contained in a statement issued by the
Force Public Relations Officer, Mr Emmanuel
Ojukwu, on Thursday in Abuja.
The I-G was reacting to a Punh report captioned,
“Policemen Threaten Strike over unpaid salaries”.
He said that the leadership of the force was
mindful of its responsibility to the welfare of the
workforce, part of which was recognition of hard
work and promotion.
Abba reminded the officers that the force was
founded on the bedrock of discipline and loyalty,
adding that police regulations had provided
enough windows for aggrieved officers to express
their grievances.
