The Anambra State Police Command on Friday celebrated the promotion of over 300 officers to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP).
Decorating the officers at the Command Headquarters in Awka, the Commissioner of Police, Ikioye Orutugu, described the promotion as well-deserved and merit-based.
While reminding the officers that promotion comes with greater responsibility, Orutugu urged them to uphold the core values of the Force, maintain integrity, and sustain public trust in the discharge of their duties.
He also reaffirmed the Command’s commitment to boosting morale and enhancing operational efficiency through the recognition of hard work, dedication, and excellence.
The CP further congratulated the newly promoted officers and charged them to rededicate themselves to professionalism, discipline, and quality service to the people of Anambra State.
In his vote of thanks, Assistant Superintendent of Police Eyam Osim, who spoke on behalf of the newly decorated officers, expressed profound appreciation to the Inspector- General of Police, the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in Charge of Zone 13, the Commissioner of Police, Anambra State, the Command’s Management Team, and the Police Service Commission for finding them worthy of the promotion.
The epoch-making event was attended by senior police officers, family members, and well-wishers who gathered to celebrate the achievement of the newly decorated ASPs.
The large-scale promotion underscores the ongoing reforms and career development initiatives of the Nigeria Police Force aimed at strengthening capacity, enhancing motivation, and improving service delivery across the country.
