The Inspector-General of Police (I-G), Mr Olukayode Egbetokun, said the Nigeria Police Force had no promotion scandal but a system that rewards diligence, professionalism, and proven capacity. Egbetokun said this on Tuesday in Abuja during the decoration ceremony of newly promoted police officers.
He said the force would not be swayed by those who trade in falsehoods or seek to undermine the integrity of the Nigeria Police Force. According to him, our commitment to fairness and merit remains unwavering as promotions in the force will remain guided solely by competence, performance, and discipline.
“There is no place for trepidation, nepotism, or clever sentiment. This remains the cornerstone of our career management philosophy because it motivates excellence, strengthens morale, and renews public trust,” he said. We mark not just promotion, but the reaffirmation of competence, trust, and integrity.
“This ceremony embodies the strength of our institutions, the fairness of our processes, and the courage of those who have served faithfully through the years. “To our newly elevated officer, I extend my heartfelt congratulations. Your elevation is a product of dedication, consistency, and unwavering commitment to the values of discipline, integrity, and patriotism.
