Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police IGP Mohammed Adamu on Wednesday commissioned Police FM Radio station 99.1 FM to strengthen the bond between the Police and the people of Nigeria.
IGP Adamu explained that the Police Radio station is a legacy project which was conceived, nurtured, and actualised by the Nigeria Police Force to enhance the security and safety of Nigerians emphasizing that it will engender proactive policing in the country and strengthen the bond between citizens and Police.
Adamu stated this at the commissioning ceremony of the Nigeria Police 99.1FM Radio Station situated at the National Institute of Policy Studies, NIPS complex, Jabi Abuja.
The new radio station he said would serve as an indispensable tool for security engagements, enlightenment and reliable information outlet to the public on policing activities and other security-related matters.
The Nigerian Police 99.1FM Radio has since commenced test transmission in line with the National Broadcasting Commission (NBC) code and operational regulations.
It will serve as a veritable avenue for the Nigerian Police to engage, enlighten and inform the public on policing activities and other security-related matters.
The IGP added that the laudable program is within his vision of community policing which emphasizes smooth information flow between the citizens and the Police.
He commended the support of President Muhammad Buhari and the Minister of Police Affairs for their doing their jobs as regards national security and safety of Nigerians.
