He quoted Baba as urging the promoted officers to add more pep in promoting the lofty principles and values of modern policing and discharge their duties in line with the provisions of the extant laws.

The IGP also congratulated two Assistant Inspectors-General of Police – Aishatu Abubakar and Olofu Adejoh – on their conferment of national honours.

He disclosed that Abubakar was conferred with the award of Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON), while Adejoh was conferred with the National Productivity Order of Merit (NPOM) award by the National Productivity Centre.

Baba, who said the honours were conferred on the senior police officers on the approval of former President Muhammadu Buhari, urged them to bring their experience gathered over time and the national recognition to bear in their national policing duties.
