President Tinubu Approves April 7 as National Police Day

President Bola Tinubu has formally announced the institutionalisation of April 7 every year as National Police Day to honour fallen heroes of the force and acknowledge the heroics of its personnel.

Tinubu, represented by Vice-President Kashim Shettima, announced this during the maiden edition of the National Police Day celebrations to mark the 2025 Police Week at the Eagle Square in Abuja on Monday.

He restated his administration’s resolve to engender a force that is well-trained, well-motivated and well-equipped with modern tools and technology to effectively combat crime in Nigeria.

This, he said, had become necessary to ensure that the nation’s security forces are constantly “steps ahead of those who threaten the peace, welfare, and prosperity” of the nation.
