\n
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has promoted its Chairman-nominee, Abdulrasheed Ahmed Bawa, and 88 others.<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\n

They were promoted from Grade Level 13 Principal Detective Superintendent (PDS) to grade level 14 Deputy Chief Detective Superintendent (DCDS) Grade Level 14, effective from January 1, 2021, PRNigeria has gathered.<\/p>\n

By this promotion, Bawa is now qualified for appointment as the Commission\u2019s chairman.<\/p>\n

The \u2018swift\u2019 promotion offered the anti-graft agency\u2019s nominated boss, and other EFCC operatives is coming less than two weeks after President Muhammadu Buhari nominated Bawa to replace Ibrahim Magu, the former acting Chairman.<\/p>\n

An internal memo sighted by PRNigeria and signed by one Femi Peter Gbarufu, which was issued on Friday, and titled, \u201cRelease of Promotion List\u201d, disclosed that promotion letters would be issued to the affected staff, as soon as possible by the Human Resources Unit.<\/p>\n

A source in the EFCC told PRNigeria that with the promotion, Bawa\u2019s new Rank is equivalent to the position of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), a qualification for the position of Chairman in the agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cBawa was recruited into EFCC in 2005 as one of the pioneer cadets and has spent 16 years as an operative. By virtue of his new rank, he is now equivalent to Assistant Commissioner of Police and qualified to be a Chairman of EFCC.<\/p>\n

The EFCC Establishment Act, especially Section 2a (ii) stated that a candidate for appointment as the Chairman of the agency should be a serving or retired member of any security or law enforcement agency not below the rank of Assistant Commissioner of Police or equivalent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe DCDS in EFCC is equivalent ACP in Police. For instance, the operative cadre entry-level in the police is Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) equivalent to Assistant Detective of Superintendent (ADS); Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) is equivalent to Deputy Detective Superintendent (DDS); Superintendent of Police (SP) is equivalent to Senior Detective Superintendent (SDS); Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) is equivalent to Principal Detective Superintendent (PDS) while Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) is equivalent to Deputy Chief Detective Superintendent (DCDS).<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are other senior officers in EFCC who are not detective operatives but with routine civil service ranks for administrative purposes. The Detective operatives currently in the service of EFCC are either course mates or junior to the Bawa who has just been promoted to qualifying level for the position of the Chairman,\u201d the officer concluded.<\/p>\n
