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.

This initiative, according to a statement from Police spokesman, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, is part of a broader effort to improve the welfare of police personnel.

According to the statement, states such as Adamawa, Sokoto, Jigawa, Nassarawa, and Katsina will be receiving new police stations, Area Command Headquarters, and office accommodations.

Adejobi noted that the IGP previously launched major projects aimed at strengthening the operational framework of the Nigeria Police Force.

“Notable among 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 armour), and anti-riot equipment, awaiting commissioning by the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, 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 said.
