The IGP stated this at the launch of the inaugural Nigerian Police Housing Summit in Abuja on Monday.

The IGP revealed that the objectives of the Nigerian Police Housing Summit 2024 were to articulate a vision of ‘effective and efficient’ housing as an essential tool for the welfare of the Nigeria Police Force’s men and officers, amongst other things.

He further stated that, “A critical discussion point will be the establishment of a 100billion Naira Police Housing Fund. Preliminary assessments are underway, and engagements with key players and institutions have begun. The experts and facilitators gathered here today will play a crucial role in refining our strategies and ideas.”

Speaking further during the event, with the theme, “Renewed Hope for Police Housing in Nigeria,” the IGP said: “A key aspect of enhancing our officers’ conditions is the provision of appropriate housing during and after their service. This task is monumental, as the Nigerian Police Force currently grapples with a significant housing shortage for its members across all ranks.

“Presently, housing capacity meets only about 10 per cent of the needs of our more than 400,000-strong workforce. Moreover, years of neglect have rendered existing barracks accommodations largely inadequate, failing to meet the demands of modern 21st-century policing.

“In the past, the Nigeria Police Force has launched initiatives aimed at addressing these shortfalls, including the establishment of the Nigerian Police Force Property Development and Construction Co Ltd and forging partnerships with various state governments, government bodies, sister organisations, and private sector developers.”

While noting that the impact of the efforts have been minimal, the IGP highlighted the urgent need for a strategic reassessment and a revamp of the NPF’s execution framework to adequately meet our officers’ housing needs.

“Today marks the launch of the inaugural Nigerian Police Housing Summit. Under the theme ‘Renewed Hope for Police Housing in Nigeria,’ and supported by sub-themes such as ‘Accessible Housing: An Indispensable Welfare Tool,’ and ‘Pragmatic Solutions for Police Housing,’ this summit is envisioned as a critical platform for discussing and developing strategies to realize our goal of providing accessible and affordable housing to our officers and men.

“This premier event also aims to foster comprehensive solutions for the swift delivery of quality, cost-effective housing solutions—both rental and owned—for our force members, active and retired,” he added.
