He gave the assurance on Tuesday at the Goodluck Ebele International Peacekeeping Hall, Force Headquarters, in Abuja during a meeting convened with AIGs and CPs from all formations, zonal and state commands.

The meeting was aimed at reflecting on accomplishments, delineating future strategies, and reinforcing the commitment of the Force to maintaining law and order across the nation.

A statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumiyiwa Adejobi, said significant emphasis was placed on the upcoming gubernatorial election in Ondo State, scheduled for November 16th 2024.

Egbetokun said the NPF is fully committed to “impartiality, professionalism, and the highest standards of conduct to safeguard democracy.”

He said rigorous training sessions will be conducted for police personnel to prepare them for their duties, with a focus on conflict resolution and maintaining public order during the elections.

“The Nigeria Police Force remains committed to transparency and effective communication with the public and will continue to work diligently to ensure the safety and security of all citizens and maintain law and order across the country,” he said.

Egbetokun’s commitment to the success of the Ondo poll comes after the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), announced that collection of the Permanent voters’ cards by registered voters will commence on Thursday.
