The Inspector-General of Police, (IGP), Tunji Disu, has performed his first assignment, after confirmation on Tuesday. He inaugurated a high-ranking eight-member committee to oversee the implementation of the State Police and the unveiling of the Policing Vision.
Disu held his first formal engagement with senior officers on Wednesday, following his confirmation as the 23rd indigenous Inspector-General of Police.
Prof Olu Ogunsakin is appointed to lead the eight-member State Police Committee.
President Bola Tinubu has promised while breaking fast with State Governors that the State Police would be in force before the end of this year.
The meeting comes days after the Nigeria Police Council unanimously ratified his appointment, clearing the way for his swearing-in by President Bola Tinubu at the Presidential Villa at an event that will hold on Wednesday.
Addressing the top hierarchy of the Nigeria Police Force, IGP Disu declared that leadership was not about position but responsibility.
He stressed that professionalism and accountability must no longer be mere slogans, but guiding principles that shape conduct and operations across commands nationwide.
The new Police boss underscored that authority is strongest when exercised with restraint, insisting that respect for human rights remains fundamental.
According to him, every Nigerian must be treated with dignity, fairness and justice, regardless of status or background.
IGP Disu also announced plans to strengthen internal oversight mechanisms, directing that the Public Complaint Unit and X-Squad be empowered to operate independently.
IGP Disu further explained that the decentralization of police functions will enable the various levels of government to participate actively in security.
