In a congratulatory message signed by the President of the Federation, Engr. Samuel Jackson, the NAWF praised President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for what it called a “well-considered and confidence-inspiring appointment,” noting that national security remains a critical foundation for sports development and youth engagement across the country.
IGP Disu is widely regarded as one of the most experienced and professional officers in the Nigeria Police Force, bringing over three decades of service marked by discipline, intelligence-led policing, and operational excellence.
A Lagos-born officer who joined the Force in 1992, he has held several sensitive command positions, including leadership roles in the Force Criminal Investigation Department and the Intelligence Response Team, where he earned a reputation for firmness and strategic clarity.
Reacting to the appointment, Engr. Jackson said the Armwrestling Federation was confident that Disu’s leadership style would strengthen internal security and deepen trust between law-enforcement agencies and the Nigerian public.
“Sport thrives where there is peace and stability. The appointment of IGP Tunji Disu gives us renewed confidence that Nigeria is on the right path in safeguarding lives, institutions, and national aspirations,” Jackson stated.
The Federation also highlighted the importance of strong security leadership in supporting grassroots sports, international competitions, and youth empowerment programmes nationwide.
According to the NAWF, a safe environment enables sporting federations to focus on talent discovery, athlete welfare, and global competitiveness.
As IGP Disu assumes office at a critical moment in the nation’s security journey, the Nigeria Armwrestling Federation joins millions of Nigerians in wishing him wisdom, courage, and success.
Congratulations, IGP Tunji Disu — Nigeria stands with you.
