Deputy President of the Senate, Senator Barau I. Jibrin, CFR, has congratulated the 2022/2023 Batch B police recruits who graduated from the Police College, Kaduna, after months of intensive training designed to equip them for the complex realities of modern policing.
In a statement issued at the Passing Out Parade (POP), Senator Jibrin, represented by his Chief of Staff, Professor Muhammad Ibn Abdullah, commended the recruits for their commitment and resilience throughout the training period. He described the event as “a significant milestone in the nation’s ongoing efforts to strengthen security and promote professionalism within the Nigeria Police Force.”
The Police College, Kaduna, established in 1949, remains one of the premier police training institutions in Nigeria. According to the Commandant of the College, AIG Okunade Ronke Nurat, a total of 760 general duty constables passed out during the ceremony. The officers, drawn from Kaduna, Kano, and Katsina states, completed months of rigorous instruction and practical sessions aimed at improving their policing capacity.
Senator Jibrin expressed confidence that the newly trained constables would contribute meaningfully to the nation’s security system. “With the modern policing techniques and high-level discipline imparted to them, they will make a significant contribution to policing our country,” he said.
He further assured that the National Assembly would continue to support the Nigeria Police Force, all security agencies, and paramilitary organisations in addressing the security challenges facing the country in line with the Renewed Hope Agenda of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR.
On his behalf, Professor Abdullah addressed the constables from Kano State, each of whom received N50,000 as transport fare after the ceremony.
