The manpower base of the Nigerian Police Force has been strengthened with the addition of 10,000 new constables.
According to a statement on Wednesday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, the Nigeria Police Force successfully passed out 10,000 newly trained Constables on Tuesday, following the completion of their intensive training across various Police Colleges and Training Institutions nationwide.
He disclosed that the Passing Out Parade, which took place simultaneously across all designated training institutions, marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts of the Force to strengthen its manpower base and enhance operational capacity in line with global policing standards.
Addressing the new recruits, the Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, commended their commitment and perseverance throughout the rigorous training process. He charged them to carry with them the values of honour, diligence, and patriotism that have been instilled during their course of instruction.
Naijaonpoint reports that during their training, the recruits were exposed to modern policing standards, ethical values, and practical field operations designed to prepare them for the complex realities of 21st-century law enforcement.
The curriculum emphasised community partnership, intelligence-led policing, respect for human rights, and the judicious use of authority, all aimed at promoting professionalism and public trust in policing.
“The passing out of this set of Constables forms part of the Force’s strategic manpower development plan under the current administration, geared towards enhancing security presence, improving response capacity, and reinforcing public safety across the nation. Earlier in January 2025, a set of 10,000 constables passed out of various Police Training Institutions.
“IGP Egbetokun reiterates the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to continuous training, welfare improvement, and institutional reforms that would sustain the gains of modern policing and ensure a safer and more secure Nigeria for all,” the statement concluded.
