Mrs. Oluwafunmilola Mutiat Disu has assumed office as the 23rd indigenous President of the Police Officers’ Wives Association (POWA), unveiling a five-point agenda focused on welfare, empowerment, and unity among families of police personnel.
Speaking at the handover ceremony, Mrs. Disu said her administration would prioritise mental health support, economic empowerment, education and youth development, national unity among members, and strengthened welfare systems for police families. She pledged to build an inclusive and supportive association where members are emotionally strengthened, economically empowered, and united across commands.
The new POWA president described POWA as the “backbone behind the badge,” noting that police wives play a vital role in stabilising homes while their spouses undertake the demanding task of securing the nation.
Mrs. Disu outlined her administration’s priorities, including creating safe spaces and programmes to address mental and emotional pressures faced by police families, expanding economic empowerment initiatives, and providing scholarships and mentorship opportunities for children of police families.
She paid tribute to the outgoing president, Dr. Elizabeth Egbetokun, praising her leadership for expanding welfare initiatives and empowerment programmes. Mrs. Disu unveiled the slogan for her tenure — “United in Strength, Empowered for Impact” — and called on members to actively participate in the association’s programmes.
