Why igp tenure extension is not an issue lai mohammed
I think there may be a bit of confusion here.
Lai Mohammed is a Nigerian politician who is the current Minister of Information and Culture. IGP stands for Inspector-General of Police, which is the highest rank in the Nigerian Police Force.
To clarify, the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) is a statutory appointment that is subject to a tenure of three years, as specified in the Nigerian Police Act. The tenure of the IGP is not automatically renewable, and the President of Nigeria has the power to appoint a new IGP at the end of the three-year tenure.
Therefore, it is not an issue for the tenure of the IGP to be extended, as it is not a constitutional provision. The President has the discretion to appoint a new IGP or extend the tenure of the current IGP, subject to the approval of the National Assembly.
However, it is worth noting that there have been controversies surrounding the tenure extension of the IGP in the past, with some arguing that it is unconstitutional and others arguing that it is necessary to ensure continuity and stability in the police force. Ultimately, the decision to extend the tenure of the IGP is a political one that is subject to the discretion of the President and the National Assembly.
