The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has issued a directive for the implementation of regular and continuous reorientation courses dedicated to enhancing administrative skills within personnel of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

According to the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO), ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement on Thursday, the IGP issued the directive during the Passing out Parade of SPU personnel at the five-day retraining program held at the Peace Keeping Hall, FHQ, Abuja, where he also emphasized the significance of ongoing training and skills development for police officers.

Adejobi stated that the directive was borne out of a firm dedication to revitalizing the Force and aligning it with contemporary global standards.

The IGP emphasized his directive to all Police Commands and Formations to implement similar comprehensive training programs as the one just concluded, which encompassed essential topics such as the roles and principles of administration, the fundamental duties of administrators, and extensive practical exercises on basic weapon handling techniques, musketry, and combat craft essentials.

“This initiative is part of the IGP’s broader vision to incorporate Policing Ethics and Professional Conduct as a continuous training subject for every Police Officer. The Inspector-General has mandated that each Police Officer participate in a course on this topic at least once annually, thereby, reaffirming his commitment to boosting the efficiency of the Nigeria Police Force in a rapidly evolving society, aiding the Nigeria Police Force in carrying out its duties seamlessly”, Adejobi stated.

Currently, a substantial contingent of over 360 officers from the Nigeria Police Safe School Protection Squad are involved in ongoing specialized training at the Police Mobile Force Training Camp, Ende Hills, Nasarawa State.

“This training framework has been carefully formulated to equip them with the critical skills and knowledge needed for effective service in their designated roles. This training program serves as a testament to the commitment of the Nigerian Police Force to prioritizing the safety and security of all educational institutions across the country”, he said.
