This milestone underscores the vital role of women in strengthening law enforcement and fostering community trust across the nation. 

The Inspector-General of Police will join serving and retired female officers to mark this historic occasion scheduled to hold from 3rd to 4th of December, 2025.

The IGP commends the invaluable contributions of these officers to the operational effectiveness and public image of the Force, noting that their dedication and compassion have continued to be integral to the foundation of policing in Nigeria.

They have embodied integrity, empathy, and excellence in service to the nation. Through their selfless commitment, they have redefined policing with compassion and purpose.

Activities marking the anniversary include a national lecture, historical exhibition, interactive panel sessions, and an outreach programme. The celebration reinforces the IGP's commitment to promoting inclusivity, professionalism, and continuous capacity development for women in policing.
