Police promotion: IGP suspends screening of officers with degrees, HND
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Solomon Arase has suspended the ongoing promotional screening exercise of officers who acquired degrees or Higher National Diploma (HND) while in service.
The police leadership explained that the decision became imperative following allegation of malpractices.
This was contained in a statement issued in Abuja yesterday by the Force spokesperson, Olabisi Kolawole.
The police chief noted that the decision was reached after consultation with the Police Service Commission.
Also, to ensure transparency, neutrality and free exercise, the Police High Command and the commission have decided to engage the services of an independent assessor.
The police chief noted that when the exercise is completed, each state of the federation would have equal number of representation.
Arase urged qualified policemen to be patient and ensure they attend the screening exercise to be scheduled by the independent body.
He assured his men that all qualified policemen would be considered appropriately.
