THE new salary scale proposed for the police will take effect soon, Assistant Inspector General of Police, AIG, in charge of Zone 9, Umuahia, Abia State, Mr. Solomon Olusegun, said, yesterday, in Awka, Anambra State.
Olusegun, who was on a visit to Anambra State, urged officers and men of the force to exercise patience, explaining that the Inspector General of Police, Mr. Mohammed Abubakar, had facilitated the implementation of the new salary scale.
He said: “I am aware that a new salary scheme is coming, but we need time to put things in order before payment begins, as the IG is putting finishing touches to it.”
He commended the Anambra State Police Commissioner, Mr. Bala Nasarawa and officers of the command for what he described as their performance in crime fighting in the state and urged them not to relent.
Earlier, Mr Nasararwa, had informed the AIG that though the task of policing Anambra State had been demanding, the command had achieved some successes in recent time.
He explained that though he faced some difficulties when he took over the headship of the command, such problems had been overcome due to the support of officers and men of the command.
