The Nigeria Police Force has recorded yet another significant milestone in its ongoing reform and modernization efforts, as the National Assembly has passed the Police Institutes Establishment Bill and the Nigeria Police Trust Fund (Amendment) Bill, 2025 into law.
These landmark legislations represent a historic step toward enhancing professionalism, ensuring sustainable funding, and improving welfare within the Force. Together, they provide a solid legal foundation for building a modern, accountable, and well-equipped police institution that meets the security needs of a dynamic society. The new laws will usher in far-reaching changes across key areas of policing in Nigeria.
The Police Institutes Establishment Act provides for the consolidation and modernization of all police training and research institutions across the country. It strengthens their administrative framework, expands their academic capacity, and ensures that training curricula reflect global standards in law enforcement, leadership, investigation, technology, and community policing. With this Act, the Force can now coordinate professional training more effectively and prepare officers for the complexities of modern-day policing.
