IG reacts to strike threat by policemen, warns against indiscipline

---

Nigeria Police High Command says its attention has been drawn to a media publication captioned, “Policemen Threaten Strike over unpaid salaries”.
A statement by Force Headquarters said it is mindful of its responsibility towards the welfare of the workforce, part of which is promotion and recognition of hard work.

 

It further reads: “As is expected, every promotion attracts some financial benefits, and which have been deeply considered in the course of processing and approving the promotions.

“For the avoidance of doubt, the Nigeria Police Force is working assiduously with relevant government departments and agencies to effect the payment of the promotion arrears. Meanwhile, all promoted officers have since January 2015 been enjoying the salaries attendant on their new ranks.
“It needs be stated for the umpteenth time that the Nigeria Police Force is founded on the bedrock of discipline and loyalty. The Police Regulation has provided enough windows for aggrieved officers to ventilate their grievances”.
IGP Sulieman Abba restated his commitment to the welfare of officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force.

 

The Police boss urged officers and men to keep all hands on deck to sustain measures put in place to ensure a safe and secured nation.
He, however, wondered why aggrieved officer used unapproved channels to air their perceived grievances.

 

IGP Abba warned such officers of the dire consequences of breaching extant rules and regulations.
