substantive Inspector-General of Police.
Arase was appointed by President Goodluck Jonathan after removing
the former Inspector- General of Police, Suleiman Abbasummarily in
April 2015.
The new IG, who spoke with State House correspondents on his new
status, said that his main task would be the upgrade of the welfare of
members of the Nigerian Police Force.
He said motivation is a key to increase productivity and this is a
reason he has made it a topmost priority.
The Police Inspector-General also gave an assurance that he would
bring crime rate to a lowest minimum through strategies and inputs
expected of his men at this time.
Roadblocks Remain Banned
Mr Arase also promised not to renege on his earlier commitment towards
ensuring road block free highways in Nigeria.
The IGP had warned during a meeting with Commissioners of Police in
Abuja that the command of any jurisdiction where roadblocks are found
would be held liable and swiftly dealt with in line with Police rules
and regulations.
According to him, a 16-team task force has now been mandated to comply
with his directives on the removal of the road blocks which he had
earlier referred to as public nuisances and points of corruption.
Mr Arase holds Bachelors and Masters Degrees in Law, Political Science
and Strategic Studies.
He is also a Fellow of the Nigerian Defence College.
