IGP Adamu noted that the promotion personnel discipline and professionalism are important elements of achieving national security.
The IGP made this known during a retreat for members of the Police Management Team at the Force Headquarters in Abuja, which was organized in collaboration with the Police Service Commission.
He said the retreat provided an opportunity for the leadership of the Force to, amongst other things, engage and strengthen the bond between the Nigeria Police and the Police Service Commission as part of efforts at addressing complex interplays between police personnel and the members of the public.
IGP Mohammed Adamu said the goal is to improve police service delivery in the country. The IGP also noted that a resilient Police Institution and a strong Police Service Commission, bonded together by the overriding interest of our internal security, will evolve from the Retreat.
