“The State Police Committee was set up earlier this morning to look into the issue of state police from the angle of the Nigerian Police.
“We don’t want it to seem as if others are taking decision and we, the most important people concerned, did not do anything.
“We want to ensure that the best thing is done. State Police has come to stay, and people need to be able to contribute their own part and make sure it succeeds.
“The police are not afraid. Our jobs will not be taken. It is just an issue of partnership.” He said.
Disu also affirmed his administration’s commitment to the welfare of the police personnel as he admitted to the difficulty of the profession
“Like I mentioned earlier, it is somebody that is well motivated that will put in their best.
“Our jobs are very difficult. Some few years ago when I was the commissioner of police in FCT, I was bold enough to announce that we lost 140 policemen just in a year.
“So, the jobs are difficult. Men sleep out and a lot of people don’t have time to go back to their families. So, the welfare is very vital and I’m lucky to be working with a President who has made up his mid to give us whatever we want.” He added.
