The Inspector General of Police (IGP), CG Felix Namuhoranye is in Nigeria for an official visit, at an invitation of his counterpart of Nigeria Police Force, IGP Kayode Egbetokun.
IGP Namuhoranye was invited as the resource person in the 5th Conference and Retreat for Nigeria Senior Police Officers, held on Tuesday, February 25, and presided over by the Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, HE Kashim Shettima.
The conference and retreat are held under the theme: “Improving Nigeria’s Internal Security and Economic Prosperity through Inclusive Policing.”
IGP Namuhoranye said that achieving internal security requires close cooperation and collaboration of security agencies and the public.
“Homeland security is based on public peace and stability. No law enforcement agency can achieve much without the cooperation, trust and partnership of the citizens it serves. Therefore, the cooperation of the Police and the citizens in maintaining security should not be an option but a necessity,” IGP Namuhoranye said.
In Rwanda, he said, security activities and collaboration with the population are a catalyst for security, well-being of the citizenry and sustainable development. (End)
