The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olukayode Egbetokun, has inaugurated a high-level committee tasked with reviewing and harmonising the Scheme of Service and Harmonised Conditions of Service for officers of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
According to a press statement issued on Tuesday, 12th August 2025, by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the inauguration—held at the Force Headquarters, Abuja—marks a significant step in modernising the administrative and operational framework of the NPF.
The committee’s mandate includes aligning the Police Scheme of Service with national public service rules and the Police Act; soliciting input from key stakeholders such as the Police Service Commission, Ministry of Police Affairs, and the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation; and submitting an updated draft within two weeks.
Chaired by AIG Nemi Iwo, the 10-member committee comprises senior officers from various specialisations, alongside a representative of the Police Service Commission.
IGP Egbetokun noted that the initiative underscores the Force’s commitment to professional growth, enhanced welfare, and improved capacity to address evolving security challenges. He stressed that this review complements other ongoing welfare initiatives, including improved living conditions and better retirement benefits for serving and retired officers.
