Police Graduate 10,000 Constables

The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) on Wednesday announced the graduation of 10,000 newly trained Constables, following the completion of their intensive training across various Police Colleges and Training Institutions nationwide.

The development comes ten months after the NPF had earlier graduated 10,000 constables in January 2025.

In his address, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, charged the constables to carry with them the values of honour, diligence, and patriotism that have been instilled during their course of instruction.

The IGP said the recruits were exposed to modern policing standards, ethical values, and practical field operations designed to prepare them for the complex realities of 21st-century law enforcement.

He said, “The curriculum emphasised community partnership, intelligence-led policing, respect for human rights, and the judicious use of authority, all aimed at promoting professionalism and public trust in policing.

“The passing out of this set of Constables forms part of the Force’s strategic manpower development plan under the current administration, geared towards enhancing security presence, improving response capacity, and reinforcing public safety across the nation.

Egbetokun also reiterated the commitment of the force to continuous training, welfare improvement, and institutional reforms that would sustain the gains of modern policing and ensure a safer and more secure Nigeria.
