President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday charged Tunji Disu, the acting inspector-general of police (IGP), to lead with discipline and rebuild public trust in the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
The president spoke at the State House on Wednesday during
the decoration of Disu with his new rank as the acting IGP, following the
resignation of Kayode Egbetokun.
Tinubu also the new acting IGP to confront the escalating
threats of banditry, terrorism, and other criminal activities across the
country head-on.
“I expect you to strengthen the discipline, enhance
interagency collaboration, and restore public confidence in Nigeria police,”
the president said.
“Lead firmly but fairly, demand professionalism at every
level and ensure that safety of lives and property remains your highest
priority.”
Tinubu praised Disu as a “straightforward individual,
committed and respected,” with sufficient discipline, urging him to draw from
Egbetokun’s experience and “make it better than you met it.”
“Nigeria is challenged right now with banditry, terrorism
and all sorts of criminal activities,” he said.
“You’ll be part of the thinking, and you’ve been part of the
innovation. The challenge as you hold the baton of this leadership is the
belief that you will excel and Nigeria will prevail.”
The president appreciated Egbetokun for his “dedication in
service” and “good leadership attributes” in maintaining law and order.
“Nigeria is a grateful nation to you,” he said.
“You have not succeeded without a good successor. Therefore,
the success of a Tunji Disu IGP, when confirmed, is part of your
responsibility.”
