Former Nigerian Inspector-General of Police Mike Okiro supports a recent amendment to the Police Act 2020 that establishes a four-year tenure for the Inspector-General of Police (IGP). This change aims to enhance stability and productivity within the police force, allowing for better long-term planning and execution of programs. The amendment also removes age and service limitations for the IGP's tenure, proposing that removal from office should require a two-thirds Senate majority vote.
