Promotion comes with more responsibility, Yobe CP tells officers

The Commissioner of Police in Yobe State, CP Garba Ahmed, on Monday decorated newly promoted senior officers at the Force Headquarters in Damaturu.

The ceremony saw officers rise to the ranks of Assistant Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent, and Chief Superintendent of Police.

Addressing the officers, CP Ahmed urged them to justify their promotions with dedication and professionalism.

“I urge you to continue demonstrating exemplary leadership and commitment to duty,” he said.

Family members, friends, senior police officers, other security operatives, and the press attended the event.

Among those promoted was the Command’s Police Public Relations Officer, SP Dungus Abdulkareem.

The CP emphasised the need for higher responsibility, particularly for those elevated to Chief Superintendent.

“More promotion, more responsibility,” he stated. “I encourage you to discharge your duties diligently. The higher you go, the tougher it becomes. Where you fall short, strive to improve.”

Officers were promoted across three categories: Assistant Superintendent to Deputy Superintendent, Deputy Superintendent to Superintendent, and Superintendent to Chief Superintendent.

Lt. Colonel Shehu Mohammed, spokesperson for Sector 2 Joint Task Force (Northeast) Hadin Kai, congratulated SP Dungus Abdulkareem, describing his elevation as “well-deserved.”

“Alhamdulillah. MashaaAllah, congratulations on your well-deserved elevation. May Almighty Allah bless the new rank,” he said.
