The Nigeria Police Force (NPF), has graduated 10,000 newly trained constables to boost manpower and enhance security operations across the country.
According to a statement by Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, the passing-out parade held simultaneously on September 7, 2025, at various Police Colleges and Training Institutions nationwide.
Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, commended the recruits for their discipline and perseverance, urging them to uphold the values of honour, diligence, and patriotism in service to the nation.
The constables received training in community partnership, intelligence-led policing, human rights, and responsible use of authority to strengthen professionalism and public trust.
The exercise, the second in 2025, aligns with the Police’s strategic manpower development plan under President Bola Tinubu’s directive to recruit 30,000 officers annually.
Egbetokun reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to continuous training and reform to ensure professionalism, accountability, and effective service delivery.
