In a statement on Tuesday, the force’s public relations officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, stated that these initiatives were a part of Baba’s administration’s efforts to combat crime and criminality through enhanced welfare programs that boost officer morale and promote an anti-crime mindset, as well as by providing policing services in line with global best practices.
“Consequently, the IG shall commence a duty tour of some of the states where these projects have been completed for commissioning starting from Tuesday, October 4 to Sunday, October 9, 2022, starting with the commissioning of the newly constructed Kurudu Divisional Headquarters, Abuja.
