President Muhammadu Buhari on Thursday in Abuja charged public officers entrusted with certain responsibilities to live up to their duties and justify the confidence reposed in them.
The president gave the charge while decorating two of the newly promoted officers of the Nigerian Police deployed to his office with their new ranks.
According to him, this is the only way Nigeria could get out of the current hardships facing it.
Buhari congratulated the officers and urged them to justify their new ranks by increasing their commitment to the service of the nation.
He also commended them for their hard work and achievements which brought about their promotion.
Nigeria, he added, needed their dedication and unwavering commitment for it to achieve greatness and assume its rightful position.
The president, however, cautioned them not to abuse their positions.

ACP Kayode Akande, the Officer in Charge of Presidential Movement, was also decorated as Deputy Commissioner of Police.(NAN)
