The former Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, has said that he is leaving the Nigeria Police Force better than he met it, adding that he believes he added value to policing in Nigeria.
He said this on Wednesday when he officially handed over the mantle of leadership of the NPF to the acting IG, Kayode Egbetokun, at the Force Headquarters, Louis Edet House, Abuja.
Baba said, “As I exit the leadership of the Force today, I believe that I am leaving it better than I met it. I believe that I have added value to policing in Nigeria. I hold the firm conviction that steady progress has been made in all the components of my promise to change policing narratives and in our journey to restore the dwindling police primacy within the internal security architecture of the country.
“We might not be there yet, but certainly the pathways have been clearly defined, firm foundations built, and giant strides were taken for the new Force leadership to leverage on in his quest for a better Police Force.”
