As part of the Nigeria Police Force commitment to
constantly partner community in policing Nigeria, and considering the youths as
critical elements in fighting crimes across the country, the Inspector-General
of Police, IGP Solomon E. Arase,
on Wednesday 2nd
December, 2015 unveiled a popular Nigerian artiste, Korede Bello as the First
Nigerian Police Youth Ambassador.
The IGP in his message during the investiture and
unveiling of the 1st NPF Youth Ambassador, described the youths as
the potential security agents and a deciding factor in the security of this
nation by their youthful propensity. He, therefore, urged the Ambassador to
take campaign against crime and criminality to other Nigerian youths with a
view to deterring them from taking to crime.
IGP Arase advised Nigerian youths to emulate the
patriotic spirit of the Youth Ambassador, Korede Bello, shun crime and
criminality, redefine their priorities; and contribute their quota in the task
of building a great Nigeria that will be the pride of Africa, and in the global
comity of nations.
In addition, the IGP during the investiture and
unveiling of the Youth Ambassador, also launched a vigorous anti-crime campaign
jingles targeted at creating awareness on the dangers of crime, discouraging young
Nigerians from engaging in crime and eliciting public support and participation
in tackling crime.
The jingles which are in consonance with the IGP’s
untiring efforts at addressing the security challenges of terrorism,
insurgency, kidnapping, cultism, rape as well as human and drug trafficking
offences, will help in rebranding the nation and generally help to educate
citizens on how to avoid victimisation by criminals.
The jingles which come in standard English, Yoruba,
Hausa and Igbo languages as well as in Pidgin English version is targeted at
Nigerians from all walks of life. They are expected to run simultaneously on
several television channels and radio stations across the nation.
