President Bola Tinubu has sworn in Olatunji Disu as the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
Disu took the oath of office at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, shortly before the commencement of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting on Wednesday.
The President also administered the oath of office to six commissioners of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) and two commissioners of the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC).
The ceremonies were witnessed by ministers, senior government officials, and family members of the appointees.
The council meeting began shortly after the swearing-in ceremonies.
In attendance were Vice President Kashim Shettima; the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume; the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu; and the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs. Esther Walson-Jack.
Disu was appointed acting IGP on February 25, 2026, by Tinubu, following the resignation of former IGP Kayode Egbetokun.
His appointment was endorsed by the Nigeria Police Council (NPC).
The former Assistant Inspector-General of Police assumed office last Wednesday.
He previously served as AIG in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon, Lagos, following his promotion to the rank last year.
Disu, a former head of the Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS), has pledged to provide accountable, modern, and professional policing.
