The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Disu, has declared open the Executive Training on Advanced Command, Strategic Leadership and Policing Governance for newly promoted Assistant Inspectors-General of Police and Commissioners of Police.
The programme holding at the National Institute of Police Studies, NIPS, Abuja is designed to strengthen strategic leadership, and command effectiveness.
In his remarks, the IGP congratulated the officers on their promotions, stressing that higher rank carries greater responsibility and accountability.
He charged them to anticipate security challenges, manage resources effectively and make sound decisions guided by professionalism, the rule of law and the public interest.
The IGP identified integrity, personnel development and public trust as core leadership priorities.
He demanded zero tolerance for corruption, abuse of office and indiscipline, and urged participants to prioritise mentorship and personnel welfare.
Disu noted that leadership is measured not only by achievements in office but also by the quality of officers developed and left behind.
He further charged participants to earn public confidence through fairness, respect for human rights and responsive service.
IGP Disu urged them to engage actively in the training and translate the knowledge gained into stronger command performance and improved public safety.
In his address, the Director-General of NIPS, Professor Olu Ogunsakin, emphasised that senior command requires a broader understanding of security patterns and organisational challenges.
He explained that the training would combine practical scenarios, dialogue and strategic thinking to sharpen participants’ judgement and prepare them to lead with courage, humanity and confidence.
The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to continuous professional development, accountable leadership and personnel welfare as foundations for effective, people-oriented policing.
