The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, has finally handed over a permanent headquarters to the Taraba State Police Command in Jalingo, the state capital. This marks the first purpose-built command headquarters in the state since its creation in 1991.

The new building, which was commissioned by the Inspector-General of Police, will boost security operations and improve officers' welfare. According to Disu, the welfare of police personnel remains a priority, noting that motivated officers are better equipped to carry out their responsibilities professionally.

Disu also urged officers and personnel to maintain the building and its facilities in order to preserve their value for future generations. He called on traditional rulers, religious leaders, youth groups, civil society organizations, the media, and members of the public to support the police with timely and credible intelligence.

He noted that the facility will provide a conducive working environment for officers and enhance operational efficiency, coordination, and service delivery.

The Executive Secretary of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund, Alhaji Mohammed Sheidu, commended President Bola Tinubu for prioritizing security under the Renewed Hope Agenda and praised the IGP for his leadership. He noted that investment in security institutions is ultimately an investment in the safety and well-being of Nigerians.
