The AIG told the officers that their promotions were not simply a reward for past service but a signal of trust in their capacity to lead. He said they were stepping into higher responsibilities at a time when security challenges were growing, and the public expected more from the police.
"Lead with courage, fairness and integrity," Jimoh said, adding that he expected the officers to protect lives and property while working to strengthen public confidence in the Nigeria Police Force.
He also called on the newly elevated officers to commit to intelligence-led policing, technology adoption, and continuous professional training, while aligning their work with international standards and upholding the rights of all citizens.
