The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has announced the graduation of 10,000 newly trained constables following the completion of intensive training across various police colleges and training institutions nationwide.
The passing out parade was held simultaneously at all designated training institutions on Tuesday, October 7, 2025.
According to a statement released by the Police Public Relations Officer, CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, this development marks a significant milestone in the Force’s ongoing efforts to strengthen its manpower base and enhance operational capacity in line with global policing standards.
While addressing the new recruits, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, commended their commitment and perseverance throughout the rigorous training process.
IGP Egbetokun charged them to carry forward the values of honour, diligence, and patriotism instilled during their course of instruction.
“During their training, 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. 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,” he stated.
The IGP recalled that another set of 10,000 constables graduated from various police training institutions in January 2025.
He reiterated the NPF’s commitment to continuous training, welfare improvement, and institutional reforms that would sustain the gains of modern policing and ensure a safer, more secure Nigeria for all.
