Gov. Tanko Al-makura of Nasarawa State has
expressed appreciation to President Muhammadu
Buhari for appointing Mr Mohammed Adamu, an
indigene of the state, as the acting Inspector-
General of Police (I-G).
Al-Makura, who spoke with State House
correspondents on Friday at the Presidential Villa,
said that Adamu’s appointment was based on his
professional track record.
“On behalf of myself, government and people of
Nasarawa State, I will like to sincerely thank Mr
President for considering a citizen of Nasarawa
State worthy of occupying this important position
of the I-G of the Nigeria Police.
“I congratulate him and I believe that the
appointment is based on his capacity and
professional pedigree.
“Adamu is someone I have known right from
childhood in Lafia and all his life in the police
force; he has exhibited tremendous amount of
professionalism and commitment to his
responsibilities.
“I believe that he will bring excellence that he has
gathered over time to ensure that he puts the
police in the right state and also give this nation
a proper and most professional leadership of the
police for everyone to be happy with the police,’’
he said.
He said that the new I-G had a substantial
burden on his shoulders as within the next one
month, he would embark on a difficult exercise.
The governor said, however, that his consolation
lied in the fact that Adamu was someone whose
commitment and loyalty to service was not in
question.
He said he believed Adamu would bring to bear
this pedigree to ensure that he put the
professional focus of his job to satisfy all and
sundry, both the government, opposition, and all
ordinary men.
According to him, the acting I-G should make
sure that whatever decision he took would be in
the best interest everybody and everybody would
be convinced.
