The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) is poised to unveil the Nigeria Police Green Initiative (NPGI) to enhance operational efficiency and support national economic reforms.

“As part of the drive by the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, towards improved policing services, the Nigeria Police is set to launch the Nigeria Police Green Initiative (NPGI), a groundbreaking sustainable development program designed to enhance the operational efficiency and capacity of the Nigeria Police Force,” the IGP stated.

IGP Egbetokun announced that the launch will occur on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, under the theme ‘Leveraging Climate Mitigation and Adaptation for Increasing the Operational Efficiency of the Nigeria Police Force and Socio-economic Development of Nigeria.’ The official event will be held at the Nigeria Police Resource Centre in Jabi, Abuja.

The NPGI aims to integrate green innovative solutions into policing operations, thereby supporting the renewed hope and economic reformation plan of the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

It also bolsters efforts to fight crime, maintain law and order, and significantly contribute to corporate social responsibilities, solidifying cooperation between the police and various communities.

The theme emphasizes the NPF’s commitment to adopting sustainable practices that not only improve operational capabilities but also contribute to the broader socio-economic development of Nigeria.

The initiative, convened with the support of NEA Energie Limited, a leading climate change investment and sustainable development firm, will have His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as the Special Guest of Honour.

The Inspector-General of Police extends a warm invitation to all stakeholders, partners, and the general public to join this important event as the NPF embarks on this innovative journey towards a greener, safer, and more prosperous Nigeria.
