In Preparation For The Elections, The Police Trust Fund Trains 2,000 People Across Nigeria.

The Nigeria Police Trust Fund (NPTF) has started a week-long capacity-building training for 2,000 Police officers recruited from different Police Commands & formations throughout the country in advance of the elections in 2023 as part of its endeavor to ensure free, fair, and credible elections.

This was stated in a statement that Muhammad A. Lawal, the NPTF’s Chief of Press and Public Affairs Unit, signed yesterday.

The capacity building training titled “The Role of the Nigeria Police Force In Credible Elections; Before, During and After” will provide the policing institutions with up-to-date information on managing national elections and get NPF personnel ready to fulfill their constitutional duty to ensure credible national elections.

The training, which got under way on February 15, 2023, is still going on in 21 federation states, including the FCT.

“Train and re-train the Personnel of the NPF and Its Auxiliary Staff Within and Outside Nigeria” is a part of the NPTF’s mission. According to the statement, the Trust Fund is also required to educate NPF employees so that they may do their jobs more effectively and efficiently overall.

The training is anticipated to be completed by February 20, 2023, only days before the presidential election on February 25th, according to NPTF.
