The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Usman Alkali Baba, has concluded a 6-day duty tour of 6 Northern states to commission state-of-the-art projects completed by his administration including modern police stations with barracks attached to them, renovation of vital police infrastructure such as police training schools, buildings for tailoring department and the band section, etc.
In the course of commissioning the projects and engaging community stakeholders as part of a confidence building exercise, the IGP and his team travelled by road and conducted patrols from Abuja to Kaduna; Kaduna to Kano; Kano to kazaure [Jigawa State]; Kazaure [Jigawa State] to Dandagoro [Katsina State]; Kano to Damaturu [Yobe State] [tranversing parts of Jigawa & Bauchi State]; Damaturu[ Yobe] to Benisheik [Borno state] ; Benisheik to Maiduguri in Borno State.
The Inspector-General of Police while assuring police officers of his administration’s commitment to entrenching sustainable drives for the protection of lives and property within the country, noted that a similar road trip to commission projects in the Southern part of the country will commence in earnest.
In the same vein, the IGP equally reiterated the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to harness all means of improving internal security architecture of Nigeria through better condition of service, rejigged Standard Operating Procedure and robust human/community relations.
The Inspector General of Police has recently stepped up efforts aimed at enhancing security across the Country and has also been working to equip the Police better for better performance.
Enhancing Police Operations was one of the core objectives of the current Police Leadership when IGP Usman Alkali Baba was appointed first as the Acting IGP and later the substantive IGP.
The IGP as part of efforts to improve Police Welfare and reward good performance by officers and men of the force also instituted a cash reward system for those injured or killed in the line of duty.
The latest of such efforts was in Zamfara State on Friday where the Police force paid out millions to families of its personnel killed in the line of duty.
