The Nigeria Police Trust Fund (NPTF) has announced plans to provide housing for retiring officers and promote farming initiatives aimed at improving the welfare of personnel in the Nigeria Police Force.
The Executive Secretary of the NPTF, Mohammed Sheidu, explained that the housing scheme is designed to give officers leaving active service decent accommodation, addressing a longstanding welfare concern within the Force. The agricultural program will encourage officers to engage in farming as both a source of food security and a supplementary income stream.
“The Nigeria Police Force needs public trust to function effectively. Supporting the Force improves the welfare of everyone,” Sheidu said, highlighting the Fund’s efforts in training, equipping, and providing facilities for officers since its inception.
He added, “We are ready to partner with the media to showcase the Nigeria Police Force positively, reflecting the critical role they play in national security.”
Sanusi Aliyu, Director of Fund Mobilisation and Partnership at the NPTF, praised Sheidu for his visionary leadership, while Muazu Elazeh assured support in promoting the Fund’s welfare programs and success stories.
