In response to recent allegations, the Nigeria Police Force has clarified the ongoing force Reorganisation, emphasizing its significance in maintaining effectiveness, professionalism, and curbing undue overfamiliarity.
This initiative involves the transfer of officers with prolonged service in a particular state, with Edo, Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and others earmarked for the first phase to enhance efficiency and accountability.
The Force addressed concerns about delayed promotion arrears, highlighting that it is a recognized and budget-based process in the public service. The delay is procedural, not indicative of neglect, and the Force remains committed to ensuring timely promotions and corresponding arrears for officers promoted in 2023.
Regarding unpaid allowances and palliative payments, the Police clarified that palliative payment is a government initiative, and delays may result from bureaucratic procedures in government disbursements.
The NPF is dedicated to collaborating with relevant authorities to address concerns related to allowances and palliative payments.
Dismissing reports of a mass resignation of police officers, the NPF stated that, as of now, they have not received mass resignation letters, except from a few officers with opportunities for permanent employment in international organizations like the United Nations, African Union, and ECOWAS.
ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer, reiterated the NPF’s commitment to officer welfare, growth, and repositioning under the current leadership, urging skepticism towards claims suggesting otherwise.
