As part of efforts to tackle unemployment and improve the welfare of police families, the Nigeria Police Trust Fund (NPTF) has launched its Maiden Skills Acquisition and Empowerment Programme for Spouses of Junior Police Officers, reaffirming its commitment to promoting economic self-reliance and sustainable livelihoods.
The nationwide initiative, implemented in collaboration with the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) and the Police Officers’ Wives Association (POWA), is designed to equip beneficiaries with vocational skills and start-up packs to establish sustainable businesses and improve household livelihoods.
Speaking at the flag-off of the programme at the MD Abubakar Police Barracks, Dei-Dei, Abuja, the Executive Secretary of the NPTF, Mohammed Sheidu, described the initiative as a practical demonstration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu’s Renewed Hope Agenda on inclusive development.
