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.
