The Companion is excited by the elevation of  Ridwan Olawale Tunji Disu to his well-deserved appointment as the Acting Inspector General of Police (IGP) by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

As contained in a sattement signed by Imam Nojim Jimoh, Amir, for those of us who have followed his trajectory since he enlisted in the Nigeria Police Force in 1992, this appointment manifests a resounding endorsement of over three decades of unwavering commitment to professionalism, discipline, and the rule of law.

The numerous public testimonies celebrating Disu’s professional excellence are a testament to a deeper narrative. The Companion notes with pride that his exemplary conduct is rooted in the thorough Islamic upbringing provided by the parents renowned for their steadfast commitment to the Deen of Islam.

Disu’s career serves as a shining example of how foundational values of honesty, justice, and service to humanity can translate into exceptional public leadership.

While The Companion celebrates the President’s recognition of his merits, we also remind the new Acting IGP of the weight of this responsibility. As he steps into this role, we  urge him to remain conscious of  being representative of the “best of mankind” by enjoining what is right and forbidding what is wrong.

In particular, the organisation wishes to register the fact that Nigeria as the most populous black nation deserves a policing legacy that is efficient, empathetic, and technologically advanced.

“With daunting tasks on the horizon including the general elections as well as internal security complexities, our prayer is that Disu’s leadership will be the compass that guides the nation toward stability

Allah (SWT) shall provide him with His inimitable guidance and protection. We equally pray that he triumphs over every challenge and that his tenure is marked by unprecedented peace and security for all Nigerians”
