According to a statement by the Force Spokesperson, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi on Monday, the projects are meant to create a supportive working environment for officers while improving their overall well-being.
The statement reads in parts: “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.”
