Tinubu reaffirms FG’s commitment to training, welfare of security operatives

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has reaffirmed his administration’s resolve to support the police and other security agencies with improved training, equipment, and welfare, while tackling the root causes of insecurity through socio-economic development initiatives.

Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Senator George Akume, stated this on Saturday while representing President Bola Ahmed Tinubu at the Passing Out Parade (POP) of Regular Course 7 Cadets of the Nigeria Police Academy (POLAC), Wudil, Kano, where 1,001 newly trained cadets were commissioned into the Nigeria Police Force.

President Tinubu, through the SGF, charged the graduating officers to uphold integrity, professionalism, and respect for human rights as they join the frontline of the country’s internal security operations.

He said the commissioning of the cadets marked both a personal accomplishment for the new officers and a reaffirmation of the federal government’s commitment to building a modern, well-trained and values-driven police force.

“This milestone is not just a celebration of their hard work and dedication but a testament to the progress we have made in shaping a more secure and prosperous future for our nation,” Akume said.

The SGF noted that POLAC’s rising profile in infrastructure expansion, training quality, and academic development reflects the administration’s broader police reform agenda, which prioritises honesty, accountability and effective public service.

“As police officers, you are expected to uphold the highest ethical standards, treat every citizen with respect and fairness, and uphold the rule of law. A nation puts its trust in you, and we expect you to serve selflessly,” he told the cadets.

He further restated the federal government’s commitment to addressing insecurity through a dual strategy—strengthening security institutions while creating socio-economic opportunities that reduce vulnerabilities across communities.

Akume also conveyed the president’s appreciation to the families of the cadets for their sacrifice and support throughout their years of rigorous training.

Earlier, the Commandant of the Nigeria Police Academy, AIG Patrick Adedeji Atayero, described the graduating officers as “well-trained and nurtured,” having completed comprehensive academic and professional training across key policing disciplines.

Atayero said the academy, established in 1998, has grown into the nation’s premier police training centre, producing officers who have distinguished themselves in national and international security operations.

He highlighted ongoing expansion in academic programmes, facility upgrades, and the introduction of postgraduate and diploma offerings as part of efforts to align the academy with global standards of modern policing.

“To the graduating cadets, remember that you are guardians of peace, protectors of the innocent, and defenders of justice,” he said.

The commandant also acknowledged the support of the Minister of Police Affairs, the Inspector General of Police, the Police Service Commission and other stakeholders contributing to the academy’s reform trajectory.

The ceremony drew top federal and state government officials, service chiefs, lawmakers, traditional rulers, security heads and captains of industry.

Parents and relatives of the graduating cadets filled the parade ground, witnessing the colourful march-past that marked the culmination of years of academic, moral and tactical grooming.
