The Public and Private Development Centre (PPDC) has trained about 50 Nigerian police officers to enhance the professionalism and ethical conduct of the police force.

Speaking at the training in Abuja, the chief executive officer of PPDC, Jubril Shittu, said that the training aimed to promote improvement in the justice system through training, capacity building, and information exchange.

Mr Shittu said, “PPDC is not just engaging but also looking at improving case management and information management.

“PPDC is dedicated to enlightening Nigerian police officers on crucial legal frameworks that encompass the administration of the Criminal Justice Act, the Police Act 2020, and the overarching Rule of Law,” he said.

On his part, the commissioner of police, anti-fraud, FCID, CP Akoh Gabriel, while thanking PPDC for the initiative, urged the participating officers to pay attention so as to enhance their knowledge.

Mr Gabriel said the training would help to improve the professionalism of the police as well as strengthen public trust in the police.

According to him, the training will help for better understanding among the police and legal professionals to enhance the justice system.

“This training programme is an invaluable investment in the future of the Nigerian Police Force, as it will help to promote the rule of law in Nigeria.
