We’re Equipping Security Agencies To Tackle Insecurity—Tinubu

The federal government has reaffirmed its unwavering commitment to provide modern equipment, enhanced training and sustained logistic support for the Nigeria Police Force and other security agencies as part of ongoing efforts to combat insecurity and emerging threats across the country.

President Bola Tinubu, represented by the Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, gave this assurance yesterday at the Passing Out Parade (POP) of the Regular Course 7/2019 cadets of the Nigerian Police Academy, Wudil.

Addressing senior government officials, security chiefs, traditional rulers, parents and guardians, the president in a statement by the special adviser, media to the SGF, Yomi Odunuga, described the graduation as a momentous milestone for young cadets and a symbol of collective progress in strengthening the security architecture of the nation.

The president commended the remarkable progress recorded by the police academy since its establishment, noting significant improvements in infrastructure, academic standards, training quality and its evolution into a full-fledged degree-awarding institution.

He lauded patriotic Nigerians who contributed to building the institution, saying their efforts had produced a new generation of officers equipped with the knowledge, discipline and values needed to secure the nation.

Tinubu reiterated that his administration was determined to build a modern, people-centered police force rooted in integrity, accountability, professionalism and respect for human rights.

“Our vision remains clear — to raise a police force that is well educated, well trained, and fully equipped to manage internal security with dignity and fairness,” he stated.

He applauded the academy’s management and staff for aligning their mission with the administration’s reform agenda, describing their work as “crucial in shaping a police institution capable of earning public trust and maintaining peace through intelligence-driven, community-oriented policing.”

Delivering the president’s charge, Senator Akume urged the newly commissioned cadets to embrace the highest standards of integrity, professional conduct, and patriotism.

“You are not just law enforcers; you are guardians of our collective security and well-being. The nation expects you to serve with honour, fairness, and selfless dedication,” he said.
