The visit which commenced from Tuesday 26th January, 2016 is at the invitation of the Italian Government and was initiated to demonstrate the Italian Government’s willingness to support the Federal Government of Nigeria towards enhancing the capacity of the Nigeria Police, particularly, in the area of intelligence, special operations and investigations.
The visit will provide a unique opportunity for the Inspector-General of
Police to highlight the efforts of the Federal Government towards repositioning
the Force and situating their operations within the dictates of rule of law and
best international policing practices, especially now that the Force is
preparing to restore civil authority in the areas liberated from insurgents in
the North-East region of Nigeria. Areas of bilateral cooperation and
interventions will also be extensively explored.
While in Italy, the IGP will meet with the Head of Italian Carabinieri Corps, Head of Italian National Police, Head of CarabinieriInvestigation Unit, Head
of Carabinieri Special Operations Unit, and the Head of Italian General
Detective Unit. He will also visit and interact with the leadership of the
Intelligence Analysis facility of the Italian Police and engage with the
Executives of Berretta Firearms Manufacturing Company all in an effort to build
international partnership and support for the enhancement of the intelligence, operations and investigation capacity of the Nigeria Police
as well as explore opportunities for specialised trainings for the Force.
