…. IGP Egbetokun Urges Recruits to Uphold Honour, Diligence, Patriotism
The Nigeria Police Force has successfully passed out 10,000 newly trained Constables following the completion of their intensive training across various Police Colleges and Training Institutions nationwide.
According to a press release signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, the Passing Out Parade, held simultaneously on October 7, 2025, across all designated training institutions, marks another major stride in the Force’s drive to strengthen its manpower and enhance operational efficiency in line with global policing standards.
Speaking during the ceremony, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, commended the recruits for their dedication and perseverance throughout the rigorous training period. He charged them to uphold the values of honour, diligence, and patriotism, which formed the core of their training.
The new officers received extensive instruction in modern policing techniques, community partnership, intelligence-led operations, respect for human rights, and the judicious application of authority, all geared toward improving professionalism and public trust in the Force.
According to the IGP, the graduation of this batch of Constables is part of the Police’s strategic manpower development initiative under the current administration. It aims to boost security presence, enhance response capacity, and strengthen public safety nationwide. He recalled that an earlier batch of 10,000 Constables had also passed out in January 2025, underscoring the Force’s sustained recruitment and training efforts.
IGP Egbetokun reaffirmed the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to continuous capacity building, welfare enhancement, and institutional reforms that will entrench modern policing principles and ensure a safer Nigeria for all.
