The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, decorated twenty-nine newly promoted senior officers at the Goodluck Ebele Jonathan Peacekeeping Hall, Force Headquarters, Abuja.
The officers comprise two Deputy Inspectors-General of Police, ten Assistant Inspectors-General of Police and seventeen Commissioners of Police.
Disu congratulated the officers, noting that their elevation reflected years of dedication and demonstrated competence. He emphasised that higher rank demands greater responsibility and accountability, and urged them to justify the confidence reposed in them through exemplary leadership.
He also acknowledged their families for the support and sacrifices that had sustained them throughout their careers.
The IGP charged the officers to lead with integrity, prioritise personnel welfare and earn public trust. He demanded zero tolerance for corruption, abuse of office and indiscipline, beginning with their own conduct, and urged them to mentor younger officers and care for the men and women under their command. He stressed that public confidence must be built through fairness, respect for human rights and prompt responses to the needs of the people.
To give practical effect to these priorities, the IGP directed each officer to submit, within ninety days, a written plan setting out measurable targets on integrity, welfare and public trust for the command, department, formation or office under their charge. He stated that he would personally review the plans and follow up on implementation.
