promotion of senior police officers who have been stagnated on one rank.
He disclosed
this when he feature on a programme on WFM 91.7 radio station in Lagos.
Okiro said
his Commission and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Ibrahim Idris, “are
working out a structure in the police to create vacancies for officers who are
due for promotion but have not be promoted due to lack of vacancies for them.
“I feel for
them, because it is not because they have bad records but because there are no
vacancies. You cannot promote an officer to a higher rank and there is no
office for his or her new rank”.
He noted
that many Chief Superintendents of Police (CSPs) were due for promotion to the
next rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP).
Okiro
lamented that many of the officers have spent eight to ten years on one rank,
admitting that the situation can affect their performance.
