The brand new modern smart Divisional Police Station, constructed by the Nigeria Police Trust Fund (NPTF), was handed over to the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) by the representative of the Minister, Dr. Anuma Ogbonnaya Nlia, the permanent secretary of Ministry of Police Affairs.
The minister said that the occasion marked a major milestone in the collective efforts to strengthen internal security and safeguard lives and property across the country, noting that the completion of the police station, delivered through the Nigerian Police Trust Fund, was a clear testament to the federal government’s unwavering commitment, under the leadership of the Minister of Police Affairs, to promoting safer communities and enhancing police operations.
He reaffirmed the federal government’s dedication to strengthening the capacity of the Nigeria Police Force and prioritising internal security in line with Mr. President’s Renewed Hope Agenda, noting that the police station was a clear demonstration of government’s resolve to ensure a safer, more secure Nigeria.
In his welcome address, the executive secretary, Nigeria Police Trust Fund, Mr. Mohammed Sheidu, thanked President Bola Tinubu for his steadfastness, dedication to the security sector, reforms, institutions strengthening, and his unwavering support to the Nigeria Police Trust Fund that made impactful interventions like the modern police station.
He said the facility, consisting of a modern police station, perimeter fencing, sedentary CCTV surveillance, overhead water tanks for uninterrupted water supply, and a 30-kilowatt solar power system, stands as a mission and statement of a nation-building.
