Apart from sharpening the skills of the beneficiaries, the police boss said the NPF had acquired drones as part of the new technology to curb crimes and unmask criminal elements across the country.

Baba, who gave the hint yesterday in Abuja, said the training was prompted by the security situation in the country and how to overcome the menace.

The IGP, who received a delegation of the International Certification for Digital Literacy (ICDL) Foundation, led by the chairman of E-Tech Complete Solutions Ltd, Mr. A.U Mustapha (SAN), said the force would partner effectively with ICDL to ensure a comprehensive digital skill for police officers and men.

Baba said, “10,000 police officers and men are undergoing training on technology. We also make several efforts to ensure that our officers and men are computer literate. We have a computer school in Abeokuta and many of our officers are also undergoing training there.

“With ICDL coming to us now, we are willing to work with you to achieve the best because technology is very important. We will partner with you”.

Earlier, Mustapha said ICDL has been working with security agencies in Nigeria on how to use digital technology.

He said ICDL would give the best of training to officers and men of the police force for the desired results.

The chief executive officer of ICDL Foundation, Damien O’Sullivan, said the organisation would give quality training to officers and men of the police.

He said, “We want to work with your training institutions and provide necessary training.

“The quality and reputation of ICDL are built on over 20 years of experience in delivering our certification programs to over 16 million people and in more than 40 languages worldwide, with more than 2.5 million ICDL tests taken annually,” he said.
