As the 2023 general elections are moving closer, President Muhammadu Buhari has charged the security agencies on professionalism.
The President declared that the eyes of the nation and global community are on the Nigeria Police Force and all law enforcement agencies in the country.
Buhari stated this on Monday during the commissioning of the newly-procured NPF operational assets, vehicles, crowd control, and anti-riot equipment at the Force Headquarters in Abuja.
The President, who on Friday briefed the Inspector General of Police Alkali Baba on the operation order and action plan for the polls, expressed confidence in the level of preparedness of the police for the exercise.
Buhari told the police chief that his expectation of the security agency to provide adequate security that would foster a credible exercise remains high.
The President further stated that he has significantly accomplished plans to reposition the police and expects that the incoming administration will sustain his initiative.
Some of the operational assets commissioned include a hundred and twenty-seven operational vehicles.
Also to be commissioned by the President is a large catchment of arms, ammunition, and riot control agents such as tear gas, tasers, stun guns, pepper sprays, bulletproof vests, helmets, and other personal protective equipment procured by the Police.
