“Lead firmly but fairly, demand professionalism at every level and ensure that the safety of lives and property remains our highest priority. It’s a daunting challenge. I know you can do it. You have my word, you have my full support,” he added.

The President called on Disu to advance the security pillars of his administration’s Renewed Hope Agenda, noting that Nigeria continues to face challenges including banditry, terrorism and other forms of criminality.

“Nigeria is challenged with banditry, terrorism and other criminal activities. You will be part of the thinking and innovation to overcome them,” Tinubu said, expressing confidence that the country would prevail under committed leadership.

Tinubu also paid tribute to the outgoing Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, thanking him for his service to the nation and maintaining law and order.

“To the outgoing Inspector-General, we are a grateful nation. Nigeria appreciates your contribution to maintaining law and order,” he said.

He encouraged Egbetokun to remain available to support his successor, noting that the success of the new IGP would also form part of his legacy.

Present at the ceremony were the National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; Delta State Governor, Sheriff Oborevwori; retired AIG Hakeem Odumosu; senior government officials; as well as family members of the Acting IGP.
