Awareness.com.ng has gathered that in a significant move to address Nigeria's escalating security challenges, Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, has inaugurated an eight-member committee to oversee the implementation of state police.
The committee, led by renowned Professor of Police Studies, Olu Ogunsakin, is expected to drive the framework for localized policing, aligning with President Bola Tinubu's promise to decentralize Nigeria's security architecture.
The establishment of the committee comes as a timely response to the country's growing insecurity, including kidnappings, insurgency, and rural attacks.
Disu emphasized that leadership is "not about position but responsibility," stressing the need for professionalism, discipline, and accountability within the force. He also announced plans to strengthen internal oversight mechanisms, empowering the Public Complaint Unit and X-Squad to operate independently.
The move is part of President Tinubu's push to decentralize Nigeria's security, enabling state and local governments to participate actively in security management. This is expected to enhance intelligence gathering and responsiveness to local threats.
The committee's inauguration has sparked optimism among Nigerians, who are yearning for improved security and accountability within the policing system.
IGP Disu's appointment has been welcomed by stakeholders, who praise his commitment to police reforms, community engagement, and intelligence-led policing.
His leadership is seen as a crucial step towards rebuilding public trust and transforming the Nigeria Police Force into a modern, accountable, and community-focused institution.
As the committee begins its work, Nigerians await tangible improvements in policing and security.
The success of this initiative will depend on effective implementation, stakeholder engagement, and the force's ability to adapt to emerging security challenges.
