The Nigeria Police Power has strongly refuted claims of a protest via officials over unpaid promotion wage increments.
The power cries the experiences deceptive and stresses that wage problems are treated via the Federal Ministry of Finance, no longer the police.
Recall that law enforcement officials beneath the auspices of Involved Police Inspectors in Nigeria on Thursday visited the Correspondent Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Newshounds, alongside Asutan Boulevard, Uyo the Akwa Ibom Order capital to protest non-payment of eleven months’ wage arrears.
In the meantime, Police Population Family members Officer, Ademuyiwa Adejobi in a Saturday observation described the allegation as an intentional effort to discredit the power.
It used to be titled, “E-newsletter of Non-payment of Inspectors’ Wage, Alleged Protest Sly, Unfounded.
The officials drawn from other Police formations, who spoke on behalf in their colleagues on status of anonymity, lamented that their crime-fighting morale were dampened via the non-commitment to their welfare via the police government.
The officials who famous that there have been about 1,500 officials promoted from inspector 11-to-1 appealed to the IG, Kayode Egbetokun, to virtue his places of work for the purpose of the charge for the affected officials, in an effort to cope with the tough socio-economic realities on their households.
Alternatively, Adejobi emphasized there are structured and disciplined approaches to addressing grievances, noting that wage disbursements are controlled via the Federal Ministry of Finance’s IPPIS, no longer the police.
It learn, “It’s impressive to emphasize that the Nigeria Police Power operates as a structured and disciplined entity, adhering to established rules {and professional} requirements.
“Consequently, any grievances raised by members of the Force are constantly attended to and channelled to the right authorities for action. The force is taken aback by the referred publication from a group of journalists in Akwa Ibom State labelling private conversations with some police friends as protest, whereas such complaints are unknown to the police authority.”
The power reiterated that officials will have to cope with wage problems thru right kind channels and suggested newshounds to steer clear of publishing unverified tales that might injury the police’s recognition.
“Moreover, it’s crystal unclouded that neither the workplace of the Inspector-Basic of Police nor the Nigeria Police Power is responsible and accountable for the wage disbursements; this accountability lies with the Built-in Team of workers and Payroll Data Machine (IPPIS), beneath the Federal Ministry of Finance. The experiences issued via those newshounds don’t seem to be best distressing but in addition centered at tarnishing the recognition of the Police Power or the workplace of the Inspector-Basic of Police for causes highest identified to them.
“It is, however, fundamental to reiterate that should any policeman have issues with his or her payment of salaries, he should take such up with his box keeper or MSS Officer who liaises with the IPPIS desk officers for rectification. We are convinced that no serving officer of the police in Akwa Ibom State or any part of the country would stage a protest on the non-payment of salary more so that our officers are aware of the process to address such sensitive matters,” it added.
The FPRO concluded that the IG steered group of workers to virtue right kind channels for welfare issues and suggested newshounds to steer clear of spreading unverified tales that might hurt the Power’s recognition
“The Inspector-Basic of Police, due to this fact, encourages all group of workers with welfare-related issues to achieve out to the correct government inside of their respective instructions or formations, thereby warding off any movements that might carry disrepute to the Power.
“Additionally, journalists are urged to refrain from publishing unfounded and unconfirmed stories that seek to undermine the integrity of the Nigeria Police Force for personal gain like the one under reference from the Akwa Ibom chapter,” he mentioned.
