A statement on Sunday by the Force spokesperson, Muyiwa Adejobi, quoted the IG as saying the awards and commendation system for the Nigeria Police Force was being implemented under his administration, “to enhance motivation and encouragement among police officers.”
“This renewed commendation system represents a significant advancement from the past. It now covers all officers involved in every major case, moving away from solely focusing on arresting officers or commanders.
“The new system is in line with Section 92 of the Police Act 2020, and Order 68 of the Force Orders and Instructions. It will be a milestone in recognising the collective efforts of all officers in upholding law and order in the nation,” the statement quoted the IG to have said.
He added that the reward system would end “unnecessary” special promotions in the service.
“Furthermore, the introduction of this new commendation and award system also marks a commitment to shelve unnecessary special promotions, which have hitherto been ridiculous in the NPF.
