Tinubu Appoints Tunji Disu as Acting IGP Amid Security Challenges

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu issued directives to Tunji Disu following his appointment as the Acting Inspector General of Police. The president emphasized the need for Disu to restore peace and strengthen security throughout Nigeria.

This appointment comes after the retirement of Kayode Egbetokun, pending ratification by the Nigeria Police Council, which is expected to meet next week to address the new police chief. Tinubu urged Disu to rebuild public confidence in the police and to work synergistically with security agencies, highlighting the critical nature of the current security situation in the country.

During the ceremony, Tinubu expressed confidence in Disu's discipline and operational experience, while also paying tribute to outgoing IGP Kayode Egbetokun, who attended the event alongside dignitaries such as Nuhu Ribadu and Femi Gbajabiamila. The president called on security stakeholders to collaborate in safeguarding lives and properties during this crucial period for the nation.
