    Dr Kolade Morakinyo, an accomplished risk management expert, is now the managing director and chief executive officer of Nigeria Police Force Pensions Limited.

    Until now, he was the Chief Risk Officer of the company with several years of cognate experience in the financial sector.

    He succeeded Dr Hamza Sule Wuro Bokki, the pioneer chief executive whose tour of duty ended on Thursday, February 29 after serving out the statutory two terms of five years each.

    This is the first leadership change in NPF Pensions Limited, one of the 22 licensed Pension Fund Administrators (PFAs) in Nigeria.

    At the handover ceremony presided over by the chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr Suleiman Abba, the 17th Inspector General of Police (IGP), Bokki presented his successor an executive summary of the organisation which he explained “provides a comprehensive overview of the management handover process at NPF Pensions Ltd, highlighting essential information for seamless transitions and operational excellence.”

    Dr Bokki said the organisation has made tremendous strides since it obtained operating license in 2014.

    The former MD said the PFA which faced resistance from other operators, reluctance from clients, limited funding and only received the first transfer of assets in December 2014, “has grown from being ranked 22nd in Assets Under Management (AUM) to one of the top five in the industry, with AUM currently standing at N1.3 trillion.”

    . Dr. Kolade Morakinyo and Dr. Hamza Bokki

    “The company achieved the highest investment income returns for clients in 2022, 2023, and January 2024; paid progressive dividends to shareholders since the second year of operations; was the first PFA to build a custom-made head office, and received a nomination for product innovation at the World Pension Summit ” he said.

    Enjoining all to rally round Morakinyo, Bokki reminded his successor that though NPF Pensions has made significant progress, the company is in a strong position to grow even more “if the new leadership stays compliant, focusing on customer service, engaging stakeholders, investing in personnel development, and maintaining a harmonious leadership structure.”

    Mr Abba, who was the IGP when the NPF Pensions got its operational licence in 2014, said the company has made a giant leap in ten years and attributed the success to the leadership style of the outgone chief executive.

    “We are witnessing a historic occasion here today with a lot of mixed feelings. The organisation is losing someone that everyone recognises as a good man.

    “I was the IGP when this company got license. I didn’t even know back then that we will be where we are today. The pioneer MD is a great visionary leader and achiever, who guided NPF Pensions from its crawling stage to stand strongly on its feet.

    “He led the company to compete effectively with its peers and in most instances, came out tops. Today, we are the undisputed leaders in Funds 1, 2, 3 and 4. And one of the reasons for this huge success is his effective communication skill.”

    Thanking the former MD on behalf of the Board and investors, Mr Abba implored him not to stay too far away from the organisation. “If there is any reason to call you to assist in the future, we will do that and I hope you will oblige us.”

    Congratulating Morakinyo, the former IGP assured him of all necessary support that will enable him to excel in his new position.

    Speaking on behalf of the management, Mr Nicholas Nneji, Executive Director Investment, thanked Dr Bokki for his immeasurable contributions to the growth of the company.

    “Bokki is an institution, a leader per excellence. Nobody passes through him without learning one or two things. He is a man of vision, empathy and very humble. We will all miss him,” he said.

    Dr Morakinyo, whose risk department detects, controls and mitigates potential risks that might have been identified for the effective and efficient management of the company and its funds under management promised to deploy his wealth of experience in ensuring that NPF Pensions Limited, under his watch, excels beyond the expectations of all stakeholders.

  • Seun Kuti’s Lawyers Condemn Police Parade and Handcuffing

    Seun Kuti’s Lawyers Condemn Police Parade and Handcuffing

    Lawyers representing Seun Kuti, the renowned musician and activist, have expressed their disapproval of the police’s decision to parade and handcuff their client.

    The condemnation comes in response to an incident that occurred on Saturday, May 13, 2023, when Seun had an encounter with a policeman on the Third Mainland Bridge.

    Earlier today, Seun reported himself to the Commissioner of Police at the Police Command in Ikeja, accompanied by his legal representatives, Femi Akinyemi from Falana and Falana chambers.

    However, instead of facing interrogation at the station, it was decided that he would be transferred to the Force Criminal Investigation Unit at Panti, Yaba.

    Prior to his transfer, Seun was subjected to a public parade, during which he was handcuffed, and his photograph was taken by the Lagos Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), David Hundeyin.The photograph was then shared with the media.

    This action has raised concerns among Seun’s legal team regarding the violation of Section 9 of the Lagos State Administration of Criminal Justice Law, which explicitly prohibits the parade of criminal suspects in Lagos State.

    A Senior Advocate of Nigeria Adeyinka Olumide-Fusika, the lead counsel representing Seun criticised the police for disregarding the law they are meant to uphold.

    He highlighted that the police’s decision to handcuff the musician was also illegal, as it contravenes Section 5 of the Administration of Criminal Justice Law.

    Olumide-Fusika emphasised that according to law, Seun is presumed innocent until proven guilty, and therefore subjecting him to such treatment before the completion of the legal process was unjust.

    Following the parade, Seun was then transported from Ikeja to Panti in a long convoy of heavily armed personnel. He is currently being held at the Panti police formation while awaiting the next steps in the legal process.

    The legal team of Seun now awaits the actions of the police in relation to the alleged misdemeanor.

    You can’t retaliate when a policeman slaps you – Police PRO

    The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of Nigeria Police Force, Olumuyiwa Adejobi says a civilian has no right to retaliate if a police officer slaps or physically abuses them.

    Adejobi said this in a response to a series of reactions to a video showing two men grappling the rifle of a police officer on Saturday.

    “Even if a policeman on uniform slaps a civilian, the civilian has no right to retaliate. More so, if he’s on uniform. It’s an act of disrespect to Nigeria to beat an officer on uniform,” Adejobi said in a short thread on Twitter.

    “The disrespect is not to the policeman but to our nation and its a crime as enshrined in our criminal laws. So it’s not a case of what the policeman did, that led to it, but the reaction of the civilians who actually assaulted the police.
