National values vital to boosting Police image – Information Minister
 |
| Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation (FMINO) |
The Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, has called on the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to adopt and internalize the National Values Charter fully, emphasizing that embracing the charter’s principles would significantly improve its public image and perception.
The Minister made the call on Monday in Asaba, Delta State, at a capacity-building workshop for Police Public Relations Officers on the theme “Strengthening Nigeria Police Force Oversight and Responsibility.”
Represented by the Director General of Voice of Nigeria, Mallam Jibrin Baba-Ndace, the minister underscored the importance of aligning the NPF’s conduct and activities with national values to strengthen public trust and confidence in the institution.
“The National Values Charter is conceived as a policy blueprint for defining us as Nigerians and upholding the ideals of our true values within our shared aspirations. It fulfills the missing gap in our pursuit of national cohesion, social advancement, and an enduring sense of nationalism among Nigerians. I am therefore seizing this opportunity to call on the Nigeria Police Force to fully embrace the values charter wholeheartedly, internalize its essence, and utilize it for the evolution of a new Nigerian narrative. We must all realise that the Nigerian Police is in the front row of our nation’s public perception both nationally and internationally,” he said.
