…Reaffirms Commitment to Institutional Reform and Personnel Welfare
In a bold move to enhance the welfare and operational capacity of the Nigeria Police Force, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, has commissioned newly completed police housing and infrastructure projects in Kano State. The projects, located at Bompai and Zaria Road, were officially unveiled today in a ceremony attended by senior police officers, government functionaries, and community stakeholders.
According to a press release on Wednesday, 6th August, 2025, signed by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the facilities include over 300 modern residential units, a 48-office administrative complex, a standard armoury, a transport workshop, Police Officers’ Wives Association (POWA) shops, worship centres, paved internal roads, and supporting infrastructure. The initiative is a strategic part of the IGP’s commitment to improving the living and working conditions of police personnel nationwide.
Speaking at the commissioning, IGP Egbetokun stated that the project goes beyond infrastructure development, describing it as a reaffirmation of a security philosophy rooted in human dignity and motivation. “No officer should fight for the country by day and return to indignity at night,” he said. “This project is a testament to our administration’s resolve to integrate welfare with performance and inspire professionalism through improved living standards.”
The IGP credited the successful delivery of the project to the support of private sector partners and relevant stakeholders, applauding their alignment with the Force’s vision. He also extended special appreciation to President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for his unwavering support for police reform under the Renewed Hope Agenda.
According to the IGP, the Kano projects are part of a broader nationwide infrastructure blueprint aimed at transforming the Nigeria Police Force into a more professional, mission-ready institution. He assured that similar projects are ongoing in other states as part of a continuous drive for institutional renewal and operational excellence.
The Nigeria Police Force reiterated its unwavering commitment to prioritising the welfare of its officers and men, recognising that a well-supported workforce is essential to sustainable public safety and national development.
