Inspector-general of police (IGP) Usman Baba has pledged improved security network and general safety of Nigerians nationwide.
The IGP stated this yesterday when he was honoured by the Coalition of Civil Society Organisations for Good Governance with the award of Grand Defender of Democracy “in recognition of his giant strides” since assuming leadership of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
The coalition, which comprises leaders of 37 pro-democracy and civil society organisations, conferred the honour on the IGP during a solidarity visit to the Force Headquarters.
They applauded the effective leadership qualities of the IGP which has led to an unprecedented improvement in the NPF, particularly with regard to human rights compliance, discipline, welfare, infrastructural transformation, decent and secure electoral process in Nigeria.
The leader of the delegation, Comrade Femi Lawson, also expressed satisfaction with recent policing strategies, improved human relations, and sterling leadership qualities of the IGP in particular.
The inspector-general of police, while acknowledging the coalition for the honour, appreciated their respective efforts targeted at deepening democracy within the country.
