The new Commandant of the Police Staff College, Joseph Mbu, has said his posting to the college was not a demotion or punishment as being speculated in some quarters.He spoke with journalists after he resumed work at the college on Monday.
Mbu, who arrived the college at 11:00am, said, “Some said I have been forcefully retired, while some said I have been demoted. Some even said my posting to Jos was a punishment.
“These are the wishes of my detractors, as far as I’m concern. I am a professional police officer, ready to serve anywhere I am posted posted to and I will deploy my professional training to make a mark at my duty post.
“Let me tell you that the Inspector General of Police has promised that training of officers will be a priority. And the IGP wanted to send one of his finest officers to the college so that the college can be transformed is such a way to be able to serve the training need of police officer in the country.
“That is the main reason I was posted to the college. So my posting was not a punishment as my detractors intend to portray.
“And I want to assure everyone that very soon, within the next two months, this college will begin to witness serious transformation. The college has been dormant, there are people in Jos that does not even know this college exists. That is not good enough, now that I’m here, the impact of this college will be felt positively.”
