The Inspector-General of Police, in his address, stated that the Nigeria Police Force is built on the pillars of service, integrity and sacrifice.

Through sustained efforts, the Force had successfully disbursed benefits to 7,076 beneficiaries in nine phases, amounting to Twenty Billion, One Hundred and Twenty-Three Million, Four Hundred and Twenty Thousand, Six Hundred and Ninety One Naira, Seven Kobo (N20,123,420,691.7). Further demonstrating this commitment, the IGP announced the disbursement of an additional Two Billion, Eight Hundred and Fifty-Five Million, One Hundred and Eighty-One Thousand, Seven Hundred and Ninety-Six Naira, Fifty-Five Kobo (N2,855,181,796.55) to 1,235 beneficiaries. This tenth phase, which was disbursed today, 23rd of May 2025, brings the total insurance benefits paid to Twenty-Two Billion, Nine Hundred and Seventy-Eight Million, Six Hundred and Two Thousand, Four Hundred and Eighty-Eight Naira, Twenty-Five Kobo (N22,978,602,488.25), benefiting 8,311 families.


The IGP equally reiterates the continual strive of the current leadership in providing succour for families of our fallen heroes and improving the welfare of serving and retired officers, while expressing sincere gratitude to His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, for his steadfast support to the Force.  The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to institutionalising a responsive welfare towards a future where no Next-of-Kin would be left in uncertainty.
