Says the Church has an integral role to play

The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria , Senator Oluremi Tinubu,CON has charged religious leaders especially the women to instill discipline, love and the fear of God in their children and other followers.


The First Lady made the remarks during a visit to her office at the State House, Abuja by the Women Wing of the Christian Association of Nigeria (WOWICAN) led by its National Chairperson, Mrs Victoria Ihesiulor.


According to Senator Oluremi Tinubu, Christianity is a religion of love, meekness and tolerance that need to be extended towards everyone regardless of their faith, race, ethnicity and social background.


“We must respect and love our neighbors as ourselves, but we have missed it because we have brought a lot of politics into religion meanwhile, politics itself is a nation, and Christ sits on that nation”.
The First Lady charged mothers to train up their children.


“Stop speaking down the glory of Nigeria, rather, prepare your children for the glory to come’’


“As for us, we are going to lead according to the fear of God, I am a Nigerian and I don’t want to fly out of this nation, therefore let us all join our hands together in building it.’’
“We are not in office for ethnicity or religiosity”.


“My family is not taking the grace of God to serve Nigeria for granted”.


Mrs Victoria Ihesiulor in her remarks, lauded the steadfast advocacy by the First Lady, setting the pace and advancing the interest of women at all times.


She noted her tireless work towards uplifting the country out of hardship.


Mrs Ihesiulor said that WOWICAN relentlessly support and pray for President Bola Tinubu, the First Lady and Nigeria for improved peace and development of the nation.


She stated further that the association is ready to partner with the Renewed Hope Initiative in achieving its purpose of better life for families.

The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Tunji Disu, has approved the creation of a dedicated New Media Office within the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and appointed Chief Superintendent of Police (CSP) Ali Giwa to lead it.

The move forms part of an ongoing restructuring of the Force’s communication apparatus. CSP Ali Giwa, a cybersecurity specialist who has served at the National Cybercrime Centre since February 2025, will head the newly established unit focused on digital and social media engagement.

This development follows the recent removal of Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP) Benjamin Hundeyin as Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO). Hundeyin, who held the position for approximately six months, has been replaced by Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Anthony Okon Placid as the new FPRO.CSP Giwa brings significant experience in public relations to his new role.

He previously served as Assistant Force Public Relations Officer at the Annex in Obalende, Lagos (2017–2022), Deputy Police Public Relations Officer for Lagos State (2014–2017), and Public Relations Officer for the Nigeria Police Cooperative Multi-Purpose Society Limited.

The appointments and creation of the New Media Office aim to strengthen the NPF’s public communication strategy, particularly in managing online narratives, educating citizens on social media platforms, and enhancing overall media relations amid evolving security challenges.

An official statement from the Force Headquarters is expected shortly to confirm the details and outline the mandates of the new structure.

The Police Service Commission (PSC) has promoted seven Assistant Inspectors-General of Police (AIGs) to the rank of Deputy Inspectors-General of Police (DIGs) in a strategic move to bolster the leadership cadre of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

The promotions, announced on Friday, March 6, 2026, followed a thorough evaluation process involving merit-based assessments, seniority considerations, service records, written examinations, and oral interviews held at the PSC’s Corporate Headquarters in Abuja.

The newly elevated officers are:

– Zachariah Fera Achinyan, fdc (formerly AIG Zone 4, Makurdi)

– Zango Ibrahim Baba (formerly AIG Department of Logistics and Supply)

– Isyaku Mohammed (formerly AIG Armament, Force Headquarters, Abuja)

– Margaret Agebe Ochalla (formerly AIG FCID Annex, Lagos)

– Mohammed Abdul Sulaiman, mni (formerly AIG Police Accounts and Budget, Force Headquarters, Abuja)

– Kenechukwu Onwuemelie (formerly AIG Zone 15, Maiduguri)

– Umar Shehu Nadada, mni (formerly AIG Zone 14, Katsina)

These elevations come on the heels of the recent confirmation of DIG Fayoade Adegoke to the substantive rank of DIG, positioning him to join the Force Management Team.

The PSC noted that the promotions are essential to address vacancies arising from the retirement of eight DIGs who previously held key strategic roles.

In a statement, PSC Chairman, retired DIG Hashimu Salihu Argungu, congratulated the promoted officers and charged them to justify the trust placed in them by upholding the highest standards of professionalism.

He emphasized the importance of prioritizing national security and fostering stronger collaboration with the Commission to advance ongoing reforms and development within the NPF.

The development is seen as part of broader efforts to refresh senior leadership in the force amid recent retirements, including that of prominent DIG Frank Mba and others, ensuring continuity and strengthened operational capacity.
