In a major push to enhance national security, the Federal Government has announced a large-scale recruitment drive for the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu disclosed the move on Saturday, promising not only to boost the number of officers but also to equip the force with modern tools and resources to improve its efficiency.
The initiative is aimed at bolstering the NPF's capacity to address rising security challenges across the country.
Tinubu assured that the government is committed to providing the necessary support to ensure the police can effectively carry out their duties and protect citizens.
"We are working to empower the police with state-of-the-art equipment and adequate resources," the President said, emphasizing the importance of security in fostering economic growth and stability.
This recruitment drive forms part of a broader strategy by the administration to address the current gaps in Nigeria's security infrastructure.
The move has been widely welcomed by stakeholders who believe it will enhance the fight against crime and strengthen community policing efforts nationwide.
