The Inspector-General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, has instructed all state police commands to carry out free medical outreach programs and distribute palliatives to communities across Nigeria in observance of National Police Day 2025.
The activities, planned from April 2 to April 7, 2025, will include various community programs and a security exhibition aimed at fostering better police-community relations.
Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed the announcement in Abuja on Wednesday.
The event will also feature nationwide engagements, security exhibitions, and other outreach activities.
These events are designed to honour the efforts of the Nigerian Police Force in maintaining the nation’s security.
President Bola Tinubu had officially designated April 7 as National Police Day in a ceremony held on April 19, 2024, as part of a national initiative to recognize the contributions, sacrifices, and achievements of the police force.
The celebration will include several key events, such as a police community outreach on April 4, a security exhibition at Eagle Square, Abuja, on April 5, an official opening ceremony and walkathon across the country on April 6, and a grand parade and procession at Eagle Square on April 7.
Government officials, community leaders, representatives from ministries, and other stakeholders will gather to acknowledge the bravery of the police officers.
A tribute will also be paid to those who lost their lives in the line of duty.
IGP Egbetokun reiterated the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to professional service and public safety, encouraging Nigerians to actively participate in the celebration and show appreciation for the officers who serve tirelessly to protect the country.
