Chairman of Police Service Police Commission (PSC) and retired Inspector-General of Police, Sir Mike Okiro, has disclosed that in three months, there would be mass promotion of senior police officers who have been stagnated on one rank.

He disclosed this when he feature on a programme on WFM 91.7 radio station in Lagos.

Okiro said his Commission and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris, “are working out a structure in the police to create vacancies for officers who are due for promotion but have not be promoted due to lack of vacancies for them.

“I feel for them, because it is not because they have bad records but because there are no vacancies. You cannot promote an officer to a higher rank and there is no office for his or her new rank”.

He noted that many Chief Superintendents of Police (CSPs) were due for promotion to the next rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP).

Okiro lamented that many of the officers have spent eight to ten years on one rank, admitting that the situation can affect their performance.

On indiscipline and corruption in the Nigeria Police Force, the PSC chairman said that while he was IGP he decentralised the X-Squad section of the police, which deals with arrest and discipline of erring police officers.

“For effectiveness I gave a standing order that every state Commissioner of Police should have X-Squad section in their commands.

“This is because you don’t expect police in Abuja to go to either Sokoto or Calabar and arrest erring policemen. So it is easier to monitor erring policemen in the state by X-Squad team.
“They are Nigerians. If the society is corrupt, it will produce corrupt policemen. If the society is decent it will also produce uncorrupt policemen,” he said.

Okiro reiterated the warning that any policeman found to be corrupt would be punished by the X-Squad section already in place to check the menace.

FTC...I CHOP DIS ONE

Good one, it is very discouraging and demoralizing been in a particular position in an organization without promotion for a long time. It doesn't bring the best out of the employee.
I hope the police won't use non promotion as excuse to misbehave.

Why is it that they won't think of doing the right thing until when asked in an interview

X-squad

Stagnation on a rank is a precursor to massive stealing, corruption and transfer of aggression on civilians.

No man is ideally expected to last more than 4 years in a particular rank but I no my friend whose dad has been a sergeant for more than 10 years, isn't that wickedness?

it's allowed

Yeye people

First to comment
I will comment now and show my primary school teacher who said I will never get to the top

#aunty alimi I made it

If you retire the top echelon of the police, then there will be vacancy for promotion of Junior Officers.

But where the "Ogas @ the top" employ every trick in the book to remain in the service, how will they be seamless retirement and promotion?

X squad to arrest erring and corrupt police men? I laugh in Zimbabwe ....will members of the X squad come from the American police? If NO, then it's death on arrival...

The Nigerian Police Force is irreparably damaged. Take it or leave it....

Meanwhile I read somewhere that a pilot who was amongst the recently passed out cadets was given a rank of Chief Superintendent of Police straight on while Medical Doctors got Superintendent of Police Straight on just after 5 months of cadet training.
Other trainees got cadet ASP.

I am happy for this latest development by chairman of (PSC)
