As part of a broader initiative aimed at improving personnel
welfare, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, is set
to commission several ultra-modern police barracks, buildings, and command
headquarters across various states including Adamawa, Sokoto, Jigawa, Nassarawa,
and Katsina.
According to the statement released by the Force Public
Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi said “Other structures like Police
Stations, Area Command Headquarters and office accommodations are also billed
for commissioning in some states, in continuation of the commissioning process
to create a supportive working environment for officers while improving their
overall well-being.
“It is also worthy of note that consistent with the goal of
enhancing police infrastructure, the Inspector-General of Police has previously
launched major projects aimed at strengthening the operational framework of the
Nigeria Police Force. Notable amongst these are the Nigeria Police Force
National Cybercrime Center; the Nigeria Police Resource Center; the new Jabi
Divisional Police Headquarters; and the new Ogun State Command Headquarters.
“Furthermore, as part of the ongoing efforts to increase the
operational capabilities of the police force, the IGP has procured new sets of
Operational assets such as Hilux vehicles, Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs),
personal protective equipment (body amour), and anti riot equipment, awaiting
commissioning by the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, His
Excellency Bola Ahmed Tinubu. These assets are vital for ensuring that officers
are adequately prepared to confront security challenges and to enhance their
effectiveness in serving and protecting the public.
“The Nigeria Police Force remains dedicated to improving the
welfare of its personnel and ensuring they have the necessary resources to
perform their duties efficiently. Through these initiatives, the IGP aims to
foster a more responsive, accountable, and operationally effective police force,”
Adejobi added.
