The trainings, which were run simultaneously, in partnership with foreign experts, came to an end on Friday 30th September, 2022, with presentation of certificates of participation to the trainees by the Inspector-General of Police at the FHQ, Abuja. <\/span><\/p>\n

The IGP noted that the PMF, under his leadership and command would be adequately restructured, equipped, with effective\u00a0 trainings, to align with its age-long tradition of basic unit concept and unit deployment. <\/span><\/p>\n

The IGP reiterated the importance of proper election security management for the upcoming 2023 General Elections<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

He further challenged the Squadron Commanders to provide adequate security in their respective Areas of Responsibility, to support the conventional police not only during the general elections, but in ensuring and reassuring members of the public of their safety before, during, and after the elections. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Inspector-General of Police further asserted that the present leadership of the Nigeria Police Force will continually embark on training and retraining of its officers to reposition the Police and invariably improve the general security of Nigeria even as the NPF attains its primacy in maintenance of law and order. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
