The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Olukayode Egbetokun, has disclosed that no fewer than an additional 190,000 personnel are needed by the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) to secure Nigerians.

The police boss said the country is currently lagging behind in the United Nations (UN) recommended ratio of police to citizens, noting that the UN ratio is one police personnel to 460 citizens, but Nigeria has a police-citizen ratio of 1-650.

Egbetokun submitted that insufficient manpower is hindering the agencyโ€™s efforts to tackle crime, adding that if the country is not well-policed, the governmentโ€™s industrialization drive will become unrealistic.

Aside from this, the IGP remarked that the low manpower of the Nigerian police is also affecting its capacity to secure the countryโ€™s critical infrastructure.

The IGP made the disclosure during a paper presentation to the Senior Executive Course 45 at the National Institute for Policy and Strategic Studies, Kuru, Plateau State.

He explained, โ€œTherefore, the NPF requires an additional 190,000 personnel to be at parity with the United Nations recommended ratio.

โ€œTherefore, the inadequate manpower, which has resulted in a low police presence, could hinder the governmentโ€™s industrialization efforts.

โ€œWithout sufficient police presence and response capabilities, industrial sites could become vulnerable to criminal activities and hamper economic progress.โ€

OsunDailyNG learned that the Security Studies Week is an avenue for security chiefs of the military, police, and other para-military outfits to deliver papers for the final research work of the senior executive course.
