IGP Egbetokun
The tenure of the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has reportedly been extended.
The extension, we gathered, is in line with the amended Nigeria Police Act, 2020 (Amendment) Bill, 2024, which has increased the service years of police personnel from 35 to 40 years of service, and from 60 to 65 years of age.
Egbetokun’s tenure of office reported renewal is for a four-year period.
Sources close to the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation have confirmed that the IGP has been handed his letter to that effect.
Egbetokun, appointed by President Bola Tinubu at the commencement of his administration, will be the first beneficiary of the new retirement age law.
