The IGP said the police leadership is focused on expanding the Force’s training capacity, promoting academic excellence in policing and international security studies, and strengthening professionalism through modern education and technology driven learning.
Responding, the Executive Secretary of TETFund, Sonny Echono, assured the Police Force of the agency’s continued support toward the establishment and development of the proposed police academy campus in Ogun State.
