The Nigerian police force has decided to take things to a whole new level to keep up with the times and embrace technology to its fullest. The force will be launching a TV channel,
the Nigerian Police Broadcasting Service which will be launched on November 28 with 5,000 staff.
According to Independent.ng, the Chairman/CEO, Ediri Jerry Wesley, of the Nigerian Police broadcasting service said this while speaking in an interview with journalists in Abuja and also commended the Inspector general of police, Ibrahim Idris, for working to ensure the project was made possible.
The NPBS is aimed at curbing insecurities across the country by making emergency situations timely and more efficient.
The project, a Public Private Partnership with the Nigerian Police, will focus on four areas of operations ‘TV, Radio, Online and Emergency Control Center’. It will be launched starting with a fund-raising ceremony at the International Conference Center, Abuja.
According to Mr. Ediri, the NPBS won’t bank on commercials for it to be sustained but will depend on sponsors from corporate organizations.
This seems like a positive concept and hopefully, everything that will be aired will be facts and authentic. We have our fingers crossed.
