1 / 2

The Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Rilwan Disu, received a delegation from the National Defence College at Force Headquarters in Abuja on 29 July 2026. Their discussions focused on police reform, state policing, command coordination and emerging internal-security concerns. The delegation presented a research paper prepared by police officers participating in the College’s programme. The Commandant said the study offers practical and implementable options for improving policing and responding to security challenges towards 2035. Disu described the research as timely, saying its analysis of public concerns, comparative examples and recommendations could help shape a framework for state policing. He also reaffirmed the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to stronger collaboration with the National Defence College and other security partners.

Would a clearly defined division of duties between state and federal units help keep coordination smooth?

It is notable that the discussion joined police reform, state policing, and emerging internal-security concerns rather than treating them separately.

Meetings are useful, but discussing reform is not the same as settling the difficult coordination questions around state policing.

Any next steps should clearly define command roles, accountability, and how different police structures would coordinate during security incidents.
