Nigeria’s President, Bola Tinubu has charged the 169 commissioned Cadet Officers, who graduated from Police Academy Kano, to embrace ethics of modern policing and shun all forms of corruption.
The president’s message was delivered on Saturday by the vice president, Senator Kashim Shettima, during the Passing Out Parade of the 5th Regular Course Cadets, held at the Nigeria Police Academy Wudil, Kano.
“You, by this noble institution you have passed through, have acquired academic advantage and must be ready to demonstrate this through discharged responsibilities without fair or favour, because the entire nation is your constituency, and you must not fail the teeming masses of this great nation.”
Stating that his administration would not relent in providing all the necessary support to the Academy, President Tinubu said the country has faith that the graduates who were trained both academically and professionally would positively impact the security architecture of the Nation.
“You must put the nation at heart and exhibit your constitutional responsibility with utmost dedication and commitment.
“Put in mind that Nigerians have high expectations of you; therefore, you should brace up to face the challenges ahead,” he added.
