The Nigeria Police has granted scholarship to 301 children of Police officers and personnel, who lost their lives in the line of service and those who excelled in their various duty posts.
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Solomon Arase, while launching the scholarship scheme said: “The Force leadership will profoundly reward the families of serving Police officers that keep faith with our vision for a professional, discipline, civil, loyal and incorruptible Police Force in a way that will motivate them for higher performance.
“It is also for our colleagues that pay the supreme sacrifice in the line of duty. They shall not walk alone. We, as their commanders and colleagues, will do everything within our professional powers to keep their invaluable dreams alive and support the family they left behind.”
Arase, while calling on individuals and corporate organization to support the gesture, said it is not only adding value to the future of the children, but serves as a source of encouragement for the personnel to perform better.
