He quoted Egbetokun as urging the new police commissioners to ensure diligence in the discharge of their lawful duties and adopt innovations that could mitigate security challenges in their respective areas of responsibility.
The IGP also enjoined them to key into the police reform plans, which he said will help the progress of the Nigeria Police Force and the growth of the country in general.
