The Inspector-General of Police, Solomon Arase, has hinted that
personnel with additional qualifications may be promoted in the next one or two
months after screening.
Arase
made this known in an interview with newsmen shortly after inaugurating a press
centre for Police Press Corps at the Force Headquarters, Abuja, on Wednesday.
He
said no fewer than 1,000 of such personnel had submitted their certificates for
screening.
The
immediate past IG, Suleiman Abba, had earlier directed heads of commands and
formations nationwide to compile and forward names of personnel with additional
qualifications to the Police High Command.
Arase,
who gave an update on the directive, explained that the general elections
delayed the screening process.
He
said, “Yes, they are processing the applications. What happened was that it
coincided with the elections and we felt that we cannot be doing several things
at the same time.
“So,
we decided to keep that in abeyance until when the elections are over. Now the
Force Secretary and the AIG in charge of Administration have started processing
it. Those officers, who submitted (applications) to us, we will further screen
and test them.
“Possessing
the certificate alone does not necessary make you qualify to meet our standard;
you will have to go through some tests and verification of the certificates.”
