The Inspector-General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, has said more women will be appointed into top management positions in the Nigeria Police Force.

He said that five female officers would soon be elevated to the rank of Commissioner of Police as part of a deliberate effort to place more women in managerial positions.

Addressing the 2019 Nigeria Police Force Women’s conference in Abuja on Wednesday, the IG said female police officers had demonstrated intelligence and capability and had shown that they could compete favourably with their male counterparts in critical engagements.

Adamu noted that the force had over the years put in place policies to respect gender sensitivity, adding that this informed the establishment of the office of the Force Gender Advisor as well as the Gender Unit of the Force Intelligence Bureau.
