Reacting to the development, the Corps Marshal, Malam Shehu Mohammed, congratulated the newly promoted officers, describing the exercise as a reflection of the organisation’s commitment to merit, discipline, and structured career progression.
He urged the beneficiaries to justify the confidence reposed in them by demonstrating higher levels of professionalism, dedication, and leadership in the discharge of their duties.

He also directed that all newly promoted officers must not wear their new ranks until they are formally decorated, in line with established protocols.
