He emphasized that women are now playing pivotal roles across crucial policing functions such as forensic science, cybercrime and digital investigations, counter-terrorism, peacekeeping operations, and community safety initiatives, reflecting a modern, inclusive, and globally aligned policing institution.


The ceremony was graced by distinguished dignitaries, including the Special Guest of Honour, First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Her Excellency Senator Oluremi Tinubu, CON, the Honourable Minister of Women Affairs, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, former Minister of Foreign Affairs, Dame Pauline Tallen, CON, the Chief of Army Staff represented by Major General I.M.
