Inspector-General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun has procured new operational assets, including Hilux vehicles, Armoured Personnel Carriers (APCs), body armour, and anti-riot equipment to bolster the Nigeria Police Force’s capacity in confronting security challenges.
IGP Egbetokun said, “These assets will soon be commissioned by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.”
He emphasised that these resources are essential for improving the effectiveness of police officers in serving the public.
In a statement, Force Public Relations Officer ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi detailed other improvements, including new barracks, command headquarters, and police stations across several states to enhance working conditions for officers.
Adejobi said, “As part of a broader initiative aimed at improving personnel welfare, the Inspector-General of Police is set to commission several ultra-modern police barracks, buildings, and command headquarters across various states including Adamawa, Sokoto, Jigawa, Nassarawa, and Katsina.”
The statement further noted that the IGP has already spearheaded several major projects, such as the Nigeria Police Force National Cybercrime Center and the new Ogun State Command Headquarters.
“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,” the statement concluded.
