National Police Council Ratifies Disu’s Appointment as IGP

The National Police Council has ratified the appointment of Olatunji Disu as the Inspector-General of Police.

The decision was reached during a council meeting presided over by President Bola Tinubu.

The session marked the third National Police Council meeting under his administration since assuming office.

Disu was nominated by the President last week following the resignation of Kayode Egbetokun. He is expected to appear before the Senate for confirmation, the final step before he can assume the position in a substantive capacity.

The National Police Council is vested with the responsibility of overseeing the organisation, administration, and operational control of the Nigeria Police Force, including the appointment and discipline of senior officers.

Governors of Kwara State, Ogun State, Lagos State, Ondo State, Enugu State, and Plateau State were in attendance, alongside the Ministers of Police Affairs, the Federal Capital Territory, and Interior.
