Tinubu also swore in six commissioners of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission and two members of the Federal Civil Service Commission.

Vice President Kashim Shettima, cabinet members, and other dignitaries attended the meeting.

Also present were the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume; National Security Adviser, Nuhu Ribadu; Chief of Staff, Femi Gbajabiamila; Minister of Police Affairs, Senator Ibrahim Gaidam; Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Nyesom Wike; and Head of Service, Mrs Esther Walson-Jack.

Tinubu appointed Disu as Acting Inspector-General of Police on February 24, 2026, following the resignation of his predecessor, Kayode Egbetokun, who cited family reasons in his resignation letter.

Disu’s appointment followed a meeting between the outgoing Inspector-General and the President at the Presidential Villa in Abuja. It was later unanimously endorsed by the Nigeria Police Council.
