The Commissioner of Police, Ogun State Command, CP Bode Ojajuni, has decorated 430 junior police officers recently promoted within the command, describing the exercise as a reflection of the welfare-focused leadership of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu.
The decoration ceremony was held at the command headquarters and other police formations across Ogun State. It featured the elevation of six Sergeants to the rank of Inspector, four Corporals to the rank of Sergeant, and 420 Constables to the rank of Corporal.
Speaking during the event, CP Ojajuni said the promotions underscore the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to recognising diligence, professionalism, and dedication to duty among its personnel.
He noted that the exercise demonstrates the Inspector-General’s commitment to the welfare, motivation, and career progression of officers and men of the force, adding that timely promotions remain an important tool for boosting morale and encouraging personnel to perform their constitutional responsibilities effectively.
The Commissioner congratulated the newly promoted officers and urged them to see their elevation as a call to greater responsibility, discipline, professionalism, and renewed dedication to service.
He also charged them to uphold the core values of the Nigeria Police Force by carrying out their duties with integrity, respect for human rights, and adherence to the rule of law.
CP Ojajuni further assured officers that the Ogun State Police Command would continue to prioritise personnel welfare and support initiatives aimed at strengthening institutional capacity, improving operational effectiveness, and promoting excellence in service delivery in line with global best practices in policing.
The decoration exercise forms part of ongoing efforts by the Nigeria Police Force to enhance the welfare and career development of its personnel while fostering a more motivated and professional workforce.
DSP Oluseyi B. Babaseyi, Police Public Relations Officer, Ogun State Command, disclosed this in a statement issued in Abeokuta on Tuesday.
