Abuja: The Inspector-General of Police (I-G), Tunji Disu, has urged alumni of the Lagos State University (LASU) to be his eyes wherever they are in the task of enhancing policing and security in the country. Disu spoke while receiving members of the Abuja branch of the alumni association, who came on a tour of the Police Museum at the Force Headquarters.
According to News Agency of Nigeria, the I-G, who said he was excited to see many old faces who were at the university with him, restated the commitment of the police to its crime-fighting duties and the protection of citizens. He emphasized his dedication to enhancing professionalism in the police force and encouraged his schoolmates to report any observed misconduct to him.
Disu expressed pride in being associated with LASU, which has evolved into an institution that has produced many prominent individuals in the country. He mentioned that feedback from alumni of virtually all the schools he attended greatly contributed to his success while serving in Lagos with the Rapid Response Squad. He noted that many of his former classmates virtually became policemen because of him, which aided in quick response, and he appreciated their support.
Reflecting on his days at LASU, Disu thanked God for the journey thus far and expressed gratitude to the alumni for identifying with him, honoring him, and taking the time to visit the museum to learn more about the police.
Earlier, the Chairman of the Abuja branch of the alumni association, Mr. Oluseun Adesina, thanked Disu for his simplicity and for receiving the members. He described the tour of the museum as an eye-opener and educational, commending the I-G for the reforms he is implementing. Adesina assured Disu of the members’ support, acknowledging his contributions to making LASU proud.
Mr. Ademola Adeoye, another member of the team, expressed gratitude to the I-G for his accessibility and wished him success in all his endeavors. The team concluded their visit by presenting an Award of Excellence to the I-G after touring the museum.
