The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, on Thursday reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to sustained collaboration with the Nigeria Immigration Service.
He described the two agencies as partners bound by a shared mandate to protect the country and its citizens.
Disu spoke at the decoration ceremony of newly promoted comptrollers of the Nigeria Immigration Service, held at the Service headquarters in Abuja.
Addressing the decorated officers, the IG said the mandates of the two agencies were deeply interconnected and that collective effectiveness depended on intelligence sharing, mutual support and strong interagency cooperation.
He stated, “The Nigerian Police Force and the Nigeria Immigration Service share a common responsibility in safeguarding our national security and protecting our citizens.
“Our mandates are interconnected, and our collective effectiveness depends sufficiently on sustained collaboration, intelligence sharing, mutual support, and strong interagency cooperation.
“I wish to reaffirm the commitment of the Nigerian Police Force to strengthening this long-standing partnership for the greater security of our country.”
The IG charged the newly promoted comptrollers to regard their elevation not merely as a reward for past service, but as a renewed call to higher responsibilities and exemplary leadership.
“Your promotion is a recognition of your dedication, professionalism, years of medical service and commitment to the security and development of our nation,” Disu said, adding, “I urge you to regard this decoration not merely as a reward for past service, but as a renewed call to greater responsibilities, exemplary leadership, and commitment to the team.”
