In a statement released by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the Nigeria Police Force reaffirmed its dedication to fostering a more effective and transparent policing system. The statement emphasized that AIG Fom’s appointment is expected to further strengthen the administrative framework of the force, ensuring seamless operations at the highest levels of police leadership.
Adejobi said the appointment follows the elevation of the former Force Secretary, AIG Adetutu Rhoda Olofu, to the rank of Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG). AIG Fom, a highly experienced and decorated officer, assumes this strategic role as part of the IGP’s commitment to enhancing administrative efficiency and professional excellence within the force.
AIG Fom brings a wealth of experience and an outstanding track record to his new position. Prior to this appointment, he served as the AIG in charge of the Department of Finance & Administration at Force Headquarters, Abuja.

Over the years, AIG Fom has demonstrated exceptional leadership, strategic decision-making, and dedication to police reforms. His expertise in financial administration and criminal investigations has earned him respect within the force and among stakeholders in the security sector.
The appointment of AIG Fom as Force Secretary aligns with the IGP’s broader vision of optimizing the Nigeria Police Force’s operational efficiency. The role of the Force Secretary is crucial in coordinating key administrative matters, managing police records, and ensuring effective communication across all departments.
Under his leadership, the Force Secretariat is expected to benefit from enhanced organizational structure, improved policy implementation, and stronger administrative support to the Inspector-General of Police and the Police Management Team.
The appointment also underscores the IGP’s commitment to recognizing and utilizing the diverse talents within the force while promoting professionalism and accountability in line with global best practices in policing.
As AIG Fom assumes his new role, expectations are high for him to bring his vast experience and administrative expertise to bear in advancing the efficiency and professionalism of the Nigeria Police Force. His leadership at the Force Secretariat will play a critical role in supporting ongoing reforms aimed at improving security and law enforcement nationwide.
