The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Baba, in line with his administration’s policing agenda set out upon his appointment as the 21st indigenous Inspector-General of Police, has effectively completed the construction of over 198 projects including more than 120 modern police stations, barracks and other vital police buildings around the country.

According to Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, this is part of efforts to fight crimes and criminality via improved morale-boosting welfare packages and anti-crime psychology of officers, and offer policing services in conformity with international best practices.

His statement states that the IGP shall commence a duty tour of some of the states where the projects have been completed for commissioning starting from Today to Sunday.

He says Baba will start with the Commissioning of the newly constructed Kurudu Divisional Headquarters, Abuja.
According to him, the states to be visited in no particular order include the Federal Capital Territory, Kaduna, Jigawa, Katsina, Yobe and Borno States, while other projects across the six geopolitical zones will be commissioned as soon as possible.

The Inspector-General of Police reiterates his commitment to ensuring that modern policing realities are emulated and deeply entrenched through modern policing facilities and equipment aimed at improving the professionalism of the Nigeria Police Force, and grow a citizen-led and citizen-focused policing system for the nation.

The Police boss equally reaffirms that the present leadership of the Force would continually strive hard to institutionalise and sustain policies that are geared towards providing adequate welfare packages to police personnel in all areas and across board.
