Speaking at the event, Disu congratulated the newly promoted officers, describing their elevation as recognition of years of dedication, competence and commitment to service.

The police chief charged the officers to maintain zero tolerance for corruption, abuse of office and indiscipline, stressing that integrity must begin with their personal conduct.
He also emphasised the need to improve the welfare of police personnel, mentor junior officers and promote professionalism, fairness and respect for human rights in the discharge of their duties.
Disu further urged them to strengthen public confidence in the police through responsible leadership, respect for citizens and prompt responses to public concerns.
