Mr Buhari urged the Nigeria Police to uphold the trust of Nigerians by maintaining professionalism in their operations and respecting the rights of citizens.
Commissioning the 628 Cadets of the Regular Course II of the Nigeria Police Academy, Mr Buhari charged the officers to be gallant and courageous in the fight against crimes in the country.
He said the police remain the critical pillar of the domestic security agenda and are important to have ‘‘orderly, disciplined and modern police officers.
“As you attain this milestone, I implore you to operate professionally, gallantly and courageously as we continue to make Nigeria a safe and secure country for all law-abiding individuals.
‘‘You will soon commence your operational duties. Therefore, you must always remember that Nigeria and indeed, Nigerians have entrusted to you the assignment to protect their lives and properties.
‘‘This trust must be taken very seriously while upholding the principle of civil policing leveraging on national and international best practices.
“On our part, we will continue to fund and support the Nigeria Police Force and its institutions to ensure you deliver on your mandate. This is why we created a dedicated Ministry of Police Affairs,” said Mr Buhari.
