In his keynote address, the IGP described the annual conference as “a strategic national engagement and a critical platform for strengthening police-public communication, shaping national narratives constructively, and deepening trust between the Police and citizens.” He emphasised that modern-day policing is increasingly defined by public trust, transparency, and the quality of communication between law enforcement agencies and the public, noting that the Public Relations Officers remain central to institutional credibility.

He charged PPROs to “dominate the information space with truth, clarity, and professionalism,” urging them to be proactive, timely, and strategic in their engagements, rather than reactive.


While encouraging the use of social media as a tool for transparency and engagement, the IGP warned against narrative vacuums that could be exploited by misinformation actors. He directed PPROs across commands and formations to respond swiftly to misleading content at the point of emergence, reiterating that falsehood must not be allowed to thrive in the social space.


Declaring the conference open, the Inspector-General expressed confidence that the sessions would deepen effectiveness, sharpen strategic communication, and enhance the national image of the Nigeria Police Force.
