The Inspector-General of Police, IGP, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has decorated the newly promoted Deputy Inspectors-General Police.
The IGP said the occasion marked assumption of even greater responsibilities in the leadership and strategic management of the Nigeria Police Force.
He described their elevation as a testament to their professionalism, leadership capacity, and consistent record of service to the nation.
Addressing the officers, he said, “Promotion to the rank of Deputy Inspector-General of Police represents one of the highest levels of professional trust within our institution.
“It is both an honour and a call to duty, one that demands wisdom, integrity, courage, and an unwavering commitment to the principles of justice and service.
“As members of the top strategic leadership of the Nigeria Police Force, you are now entrusted with responsibilities that go beyond operational command.
“You are expected to provide institutional direction, strengthen internal discipline, drive reforms, and ensure that our policing strategies remain responsive to the evolving security landscape of our nation.
“The security environment in which we operate continues to evolve in complexity. From organized crime and cyber-enabled threats to violent criminal networks and emerging security challenges, the expectations placed on the Nigeria Police Force have never been greater.
“It is therefore imperative that our leadership remains forward-looking, strategic, and firmly committed to professionalism and operational excellence.
“In this regard, I charge you to bring to bear your vast experience in strengthening intelligence-led policing, deepening inter-agency cooperation, enhancing operational coordination across commands, and reinforcing accountability within the ranks.
“Your leadership must inspire confidence within the Force and trust among the citizens we are sworn to protect.
“Let your tenure at this level be defined by discipline, fairness, transparency, and service, the rank you wear today places you as custodians of the institutional values of the Nigeria Police Force, your actions, decisions, and leadership style will continue to shape the culture, direction, and public perception of our organisation.”
