Planned NLC Strike: IGP Summons Police Zonal Strategic Commanders

The Inspector General of Police, Usman Alkali Baba has summoned Police Strategic Commanders across the country to Abuja for an emergency meeting. The purpose among other things is to deliberate on how to ensure political, non-political actors and other elements do not take advantage of the planned nationwide industrial action called for by the Nigerian Labour Congress, to protest the increase of PMS from N195 to N540.

Addressing the senior officers, the IGP said “This meeting is convened to achieve two basic objectives. First is to assess the internal security situation within the country vis-à-vis our policing mandate. Second is to disseminate some emerging strategic and policy-driven directives that will guide our operations towards policing the new Nigerian Ideal under the amiable leadership of the new President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

The IGP “assured law abiding citizens of this country, of the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to a peaceful and serene civil space under my watch as we continue to sustain the framework that has been producing gains recorded in securing our great nation.

“We shall also continue to leverage on the support of the Federal Government as we re-evaluate internal security dynamics and adapt our strategies towards ensuring that the current downward trend in crime across the country is sustained”, he added.
