NPF Announces N10m Welfare Bond for Deceased Officers
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) announced plans to unveil a N10 million welfare bond for the families of deceased officers at the 30th anniversary celebration of Course 19/1996 of the Nigeria Police Academy in Abuja. DCP John Paul Echeta, Chairman of the Organising Committee, noted that 51 of the over 200 members of Cadet ASP Course 19/1996 had died in active service, with three fatalities occurring this year.
Echeta expressed the committee's commitment to support the families of the deceased and mentioned that the disbursement of the welfare bond would commence soon. He also raised concerns regarding stagnation in promotions for Course 19 members, appealing to Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Disu for accelerated promotions before their retirement.
Echeta highlighted that many members of Course 19 have been blocked from attaining higher ranks due to administrative challenges, despite their dedication and service.
