The Inspector-General of Police (I-G), Mr Olatunji Disu, has called on the newly decorated Assistant Inspectors-General of Police (AIGs) and Commissioners of Police (CPs) to lead with uncompromising integrity.
Disu made the call on Tuesday in Abuja at the decoration of newly promoted 13 AIGs and 17 CPs.
“I expect you to lead with uncompromising integrity, with no tolerance for misconduct, abuse of office or corruption. But I also expect you to lead with humanity.
“The officers under your commands are watching, not just what you demand of them, but what you protect them from, what you fight for on their behalf, and whether you see them as people, not just personnel.
“A force that takes care of its own is a force its own will die defending. We must continue building a modern, intelligence-led, technology-driven force, but we must never lose sight of why.
“Safer streets. Protected families. Communities that trust us because we have earned that trust through fairness and respect,” he said.
Disu said public confidence was not a public relations exercise, adding that it was the difference between a tip that saves a life and a silence that costs one.
He reiterated the force`s commitment to their welfare and urged them to do the same to mentor those coming up behind them.
Disu enjoined the senior officers to mentor the upcoming ones the way they wished someone had mentored them, honestly, patiently, and with belief in what they could become.
He urged the newly decorated AIGs and CPs to wear their ranks with humility, but also with pride because they earned it. (NAN)(www.nannews.ng)
