President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has approved the establishment of a new campus of the Nigeria Police Academy in Erinja, Yewa South Local Government Area of Ogun State, alongside a special take-off grant of ₦15 billion.

The approval, conveyed in a statement by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, is in line with the provisions of the Nigeria Police Academy (Establishment) Act, 2021, which provides for the expansion of the institution into multiple campuses across the country.

According to the statement, the ₦15 billion intervention fund will be sourced from the 2026 allocation of the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) and will finance priority infrastructure, academic facilities, student accommodation, and essential training assets for the new campus.

The decision to site the academy in Erinja followed a high-level consultative meeting involving the Minister of Police Affairs, the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, officials of the Federal Ministry of Education, the Inspector-General of Police, and the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC).

Deliberations at the meeting focused on critical considerations, including student intake capacity, funding sustainability, academic quality assurance, and the long-term manpower needs of the Nigeria Police Force, which is currently expanding its recruitment.

President Tinubu said that establishing additional campuses for the Police Academy is aimed at strengthening institutional governance, enhancing modern policing education, and bolstering national security.

“The intervention fund will be sourced from the TetFund 2026 allocation to finance priority infrastructure, academic facilities, student accommodation, and core training assets.

“A high-level consultative meeting involving the Minister of Police Affairs, the Minister of Education, Dr. Tunji Alausa, officials of the Federal Ministry of Education, the Inspector-General of Police, and the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC) recommended the siting of the new campus in Erinja.

“The meeting considered student intake capacity, funding realities, academic quality assurance, and the long-term needs of the Nigerian Police Force, which is currently recruiting more men.

“President Tinubu believes the expansion will strengthen institutional governance, modern policing education, and national security”, the statement said.

The Nigeria Police Academy, with its main campus in Wudil, Kano State, is a degree-awarding institution responsible for training officers of the Nigeria Police Force as part of ongoing efforts to improve professionalism and operational capacity within the country’s internal security framework.
