The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Mr. Olatunji Disu, has ordered newly promoted senior police officers to develop and submit a clear, measurable operational plan focused on integrity, officer welfare, and public trust within 90 days.
Disu issued the directive on Tuesday in Abuja during the official decoration ceremony for the newly elevated officers. The event saw the decoration of two Deputy Inspectors-General of Police (DIGs), 10 Assistant Inspectors-General of Police (AIGs), and 17 Commissioners of Police (CPs).
Addressing the senior officers, the IGP emphasized zero tolerance for corruption, indiscipline, and abuse of office, urging them to lead by example.
“Within 90 days, each of you will submit to me a reading plan for your command, department, information or office under your charge,” Disu directed. “It must set out clear and measurable targets on integrity, welfare and public trust, and tied to your specific mandate. I will review every plan, and will follow it up.”
He cautioned the leadership against double standards, stating that it is unacceptable to demand discipline from subordinates while practicing indiscipline.
Highlighting officer welfare and mentorship as key priorities, Disu urged the commanders to invest in the growth of junior officers under their leadership, noting that neglected personnel cannot be expected to serve with honor.
“Treat them like members of your family and look after their welfare,” he said, adding that the true legacy of their leadership would be measured by the quality of officers they leave behind.
The IGP also called for deliberate efforts to rebuild public trust as the Nigeria Police Force undergoes repositioning into a professional, accountable, and intelligence-led institution.
“Trust is not built in speeches,” Disu stressed. “It is built at the counter, on the road and in the community through fairness, respect for human rights and a prompt response to the needs of the people.” (NAN)
