President Tinubu signing the Nigeria Police Training Institutions Bill into law during a formal event.
Agency report
Pesident Bola Tinubu has signed the Nigeria Police Training Institutions Establishment Bill, 2024, into law.
The law grants statutory recognition to 48 police training institutions across the country.
The bill, sponsored by Ahmed Malam-Madori (APC–Jigawa North East), aimed to institutionalise police education, professional development, and global best practices in law enforcement.
The law recognises five categories of police training institutions across the six geopolitical zones.
These include police colleges, police training schools, police tactical schools, police technical training schools, and other specialised institutions.
Prominent among the now legalised police colleges are those in Ikeja (Lagos), Kaduna (Kaduna), Maiduguri (Borno), Oji River (Enugu), Jos (Plateau), and the Police Detective College in Enugu.
