The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially commenced the construction of a state-of-the-art smart divisional police headquarters along with six residential quarters for rank-and-file officers in Mpape, a community within the Bwari Area Council of Abuja. This initiative is part of a broader effort to modernize policing infrastructure and enhance security measures across the nation.
The groundbreaking ceremony was conducted by the Minister of Police Affairs, Ibrahim Gaidam, who was represented by the Acting Permanent Secretary of the Ministry, Yusuf Abubakar Argungu. In his address, Gaidam emphasized the government's commitment to transforming the Nigeria Police Force into a "world-class institution that is inclusive, intelligence-led, technology-driven and community-based."
Bolaji Kazeem, Deputy Director of Information and Public Relations for the Ministry of Police Affairs, highlighted the project's significance in addressing security challenges in Mpape and its environs. "The presence of this divisional headquarters will protect citizens commuting daily from dangers such as kidnapping, one-chance operations and robbery," he stated.
The District Head of Mpape, Alhaji Adamu Diga, expressed gratitude towards the Ministry, the Nigeria Police Trust Fund, and the Nigeria Police Force for upgrading the existing police post to a divisional headquarters. He noted that this development would significantly improve efficiency and service delivery for the district's residents.
