FG Confirms Appointment Of Suleiman Abba As Police IG

The Police Service Council in Nigeria has confirmed the
appointment of the Inspector General of Police (IGP),
Suleiman Abba.
Abba's appointment was confirmed on Tuesday during the
Police Service Council meeting held at the Presidential Villa,
Abuja.
The meeting began after a National Council of State meeting
that was also held at the Villa.
At the meeting, Nigeria's security challenges and how it
could be tackled were discussed, with emphasises laid on
the need for more funding for security agencies, especially
the police.
The council agreed that one per cent of the Federal
Allocation accruing to the states should be set aside for the
funding of the Nigerian police to equip them for the
discharge of their duties, which include the protection of
lives and property of Nigerians.
Mr Abba was made the Acting Inspector General of Police
after the former IG, Mr Mohammed Abubakar, retired in
July, having completed 35 years in service, as stipulated by
law.
Addressing reporters after the confirmation of his
appointment, Mr Abba said he would work hard to ensure
that he meets up with the expectations of the office of the
Inspector General of Police.
Mr Abba pointed out that Nigerians deserved the best from
security agencies in the effort to make Nigeria safe for all
and that he would ensure that the resources available would
be judiciously managed to carry out his job.
