The Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, on Wednesday inaugurated an eight-member committee to oversee the implementation of state police and the rollout of his policing vision.
Disu held his first formal engagement with senior police officers in Abuja, days after the Nigeria Police Council unanimously ratified his appointment by President Bola Tinubu.
Professor Olu Ogunsakin was appointed to lead the eight-member state police committee.
Addressing the top hierarchy of the Nigeria Police Force, IGP Disu declared that leadership is not about position but responsibility.
He stressed that professionalism and accountability must no longer be mere slogans, but guiding principles that shape conduct and operations across commands nationwide.

Disu underscored that authority is strongest when exercised with restraint, insisting that respect for human rights remains fundamental.
According to him, every Nigerian must be treated with dignity, fairness and justice, regardless of status or background.
He also announced plans to strengthen internal oversight mechanisms, directing that the Public Complaint Unit and X-Squad be empowered to operate independently.
The IGP further explained that the decentralisation of police functions will enable the various levels of government to participate actively in security.
