Nigeria Police Launches Leadership Programme To Empower Female Officers
Strong leadership within law enforcement is increasingly recognised as vital to building a more inclusive, effective and trusted police service.
In line with this vision, the Nigeria Police Force has launched a five-day Women Police Leadership Programme to strengthen the capacity of female officers nationwide.
The initiative, supported by the German Government in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), GS Foundation, CLEEN Foundation and the Nigeria Police Reform Secretariat, is designed to enhance leadership skills, strategic management and modern policing knowledge among women officers.
Speaking at the opening ceremony on behalf of the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, the Assistant Inspector-General of Police in charge of Training and Development, AIG Uche Ifeanyi Henry, reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to continuous capacity building as a key pillar of ongoing police reforms.
He urged participants to make the most of the programme and apply the knowledge gained to improve service delivery and leadership.
Delivering the keynote address, the Director-General of the National Institute of Police Studies, Prof. Olu Ogunsakin, described sustained leadership development for female officers as essential to strengthening professionalism, institutional effectiveness and operational excellence within the Nigeria Police Force.
The Force said the initiative reflects its commitment to training, gender inclusion and reforms aimed at improving policing services nationwide.
