VP Shettima while delivering the President’s speech noted that President Tinubu’s administration had been unequivocal about its resolve to transform the Nigeria Police Force into a modern, professional, and accountable institution that mirrors the aspirations and values of the nation.
This is as he listed part of the comprehensive reforms by the administration to rejuvenate the police force to include investment in training and capacity-building.
