The Nigeria Police Council has confirmed Olatunji Disu (Tunji Disu) as the new Inspector-General of Police (IGP), following his earlier appointment as acting IGP by President Tinubu. Disu is set to be sworn in on Wednesday and is seen as a symbol of hope amid calls to prioritize merit over ethnicity.

This confirmation on March 2, 2026, builds on President Bola Ahmed Tinubu's February 24 appointment of Assistant Inspector-General Tunji Disu as acting IGP, marking a key step in the Nigeria Police Force's leadership transition under its rotational tradition.

Reports from Daily Trust and ThisDayLive highlight Disu—a former judo champion—as a beacon of hope for reform. Coverage emphasizes overcoming ethnic divisions in the selection process and the challenges ahead for the new IGP, with no reported contradictions across sources.

While specific policy plans remain undisclosed, the ratification solidifies the path for Disu's full tenure, continuing efforts to strengthen the force.
