Daily Independent notes that between May 29, 2009 (when president Jonathan became vice president) and April 14, 2015, Nigeria has had five Inspectors-general of police.
Their names: Mike Okiro, Ogbonna Onovo, Hafiz Ringim, Mohammed Abubakar and Suleiman Abba. The new IGP, Suleiman Abba, is the sixth.
See their profiles below:
Mike Okiro (2007 – 2009)
Mike Okiro served the country as inspector-general of police from 2007 to 2009. He retired from the Nigeria Police Force on July 24, 2009, having clocked 60 years.
Retired and serving senior and junior police officers, who spoke with our correspondent, said that while Okiro was in service, he improved the relationships between the police and members of the public and ensured that the take-home -pay of the estimated 370,000 serving police officers in the country was increased.
This was possible because the immediate past president, late Musa Yar’Adua was favourably disposed to the welfare of members of the Nigeria Police Force, as well as other security agencies.
With what could be described as near living wages paid to the police nationwide under Okiro, the vex issues of wetin you carry was reduced to a manageable level.
