The Minister of State for Police Affairs, Ms Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, has expressed the determination of the police high command to implement the directive of President Bola Tinubu on the withdrawal of police personnel from VIP security duties, among other “key mandates”.
According to a statement issued by the Deputy Director (Press) of the ministry, Bolaji O. Kazeem, the commitment was made by Sulaiman-Ibrahim during a 2-day management retreat of the Ministry of Police Affairs for the directorate cadre in Abuja.
Sulaiman-Ibrahim added that the mandates are not mere tasks but transformative initiatives that could enhance internal security in Nigeria.
While noting that the Nigeria Police Force and the Ministry of Police Affairs were at a critical juncture, and currently struggling with the consequences of decades of neglect that have hindered their ability to fulfil their constitutional mandate, she added that the ministry was committed to aligning its efforts to contribute to the realisation of Mr President’s vision for a renewed, highly effective NPF.
