- •••••••• NPGI is to enhance Operational Efficiency, Socio-Economic Development
- ••••••••• Nigeria Police to boost Climate Action
The Nigeria Police is set to join the pantheon of sustainability compliant organizations in Nigeria and Globally as it launches the Nigeria Police Green Initiative (NPGI), a groundbreaking sustainable development programme designed to enhance the operational efficiency and capacity of the Nigeria Police Force.
This was disclosed in a statement, citing this Initiative as part of a drive by the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, towards improved policing services.
The NPGI aims to integrate green innovative solutions into policing operations, thereby supporting the renewed hope and economic reformation plan of the Nigerian President, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu.
The initiative shall also bolster efforts to fight crime, maintain law and order, and accord significant corporate social responsibilities to Nigerians with a view to solidifying the cooperation between the police and various communities.
The official launch of the NPGI will take place on Tuesday, July 9, 2024, at the Nigeria Police Resource Centre in Jabi, Abuja.
The theme of the launch is “Leveraging Climate Mitigation and Adaptation for Increasing the Operational Efficiency of the Nigeria Police Force and Socio-economic Development of Nigeria”, emphasizing the response of the NPF to the need to adopt sustainable practices that not only improve operational capabilities but also contribute to the broader socio-economic development of our country.
His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, as the Special Guest of Honour, shall launch the initiative which is convened with the support of NEA Energie Limited, a leading climate change investment and sustainable development firm.
It would be recalled that at the UNFCCC Conference of Parties (COP) 28 in December 2023, the IGP, Kayode Egbetokun announced the launch of the initiative to the global climate change sector.
It is astounding that six months after that announcement, despite the myriad of challenges occasioned by economic and social disruption, the launch is here with a commitment towards active implementation of activities and efforts to ensure sustainability of the initiative.
