**Nigeria's Police Council Approves Disu as New IGP** In a development that has been expected, the National Police Council has ratified the appointment of AIG Olatunji Disu as the substantive Inspector-General of Police. This decision was made public by Bayo Onanuga, Special Adviser to President Bola Tinubu on Information and Strategy. The confirmation marks an important step in the process of selecting a new leader for the Nigeria Police Force. Disu's appointment, which was expected to be formally considered at a meeting convened by President Tinubu, has now been endorsed by the council. This development follows the resignation of former IGP Kayode Egbetokun, which led to an announcement by the Presidency that the council would be meeting to consider Disu's appointment. The Police Act 2020 requires the council to be involved in the appointment process of the Inspector-General of Police. This legislation aims to ensure that the selection of the country's top cop is a transparent and democratic process. As a result, President Tinubu convened the meeting of the Nigeria Police Council to formally consider Disu's appointment, following which his name will be submitted to the Senate for confirmation. This development highlights the importance of the Police Council in the governance structure of Nigeria's security agencies. The council's role is critical in providing guidance and oversight to the Nigeria Police Force. With Disu's appointment now endorsed, Nigerians can expect a new direction for the country's police force under his leadership. The confirmation of Disu as IGP comes at a time when the country is looking to reform its security agencies and enhance their effectiveness in maintaining law and order. As the new leader of the Nigeria Police Force, Disu will have a crucial role to play in driving this reform agenda and ensuring that the country's security agencies are equipped to tackle the complex challenges facing the nation.
