The Inspector General of Police, Mr. Solomon Arase, on
Saturday said about 40,000 policemen between the ranks of constable and
inspector would be promoted in the next two months. Arase, who disclosed
this during his private visit to Lagos, noted that the rank and file were the
officers doing major jobs, including arrests, investigations and other special
duties.
Arase said, “There have
been backlogs of promotions between the constable and inspector cadre,
involving about 36,000 of them. Two groups are already undergoing their
promotional courses.”
The Punch report continues:
Arase said “Within the next two
months, about 40,000 policemen between the ranks of constable and inspector
will undertake promotion exercises and be moved up to the next rank.
“If we are able to solve the problem of the
rank and file in the police, half of the issues we are dealing with, which is
corruption, would be resolved. Corruption is born out of insecurity.”
