Trust Fund upgrades police radio with N190m

The Nigeria Police Trust Fund has upgraded the Nigeria Police Radio with over N190 million.

The Radio was part of the projects executed under the Trust Fund’s 2021 intervention programme.

Other projects embarked on by the Trust Fund include the renovation of fourteen blocks of flats at the Rank-and-File Quarters in the Brick City Police Barracks, the upgrade of the Nigeria Police Radio station, and the Nigeria Police Force ultra-modern Warehouse in Dei-Dei.

The Executive Secretary of the Trust Fund, Abdullahi Sokoto, said there were over 100 programmes ongoing and completed projects since he took over.

Sokoto added that he had instructed the contractor working on the blocks of flats for Rank-and-File Quarters in Kubwa to revisit the project.

He said, ”I commend the contractors who handled the upgrade of the Nigeria Police Radio and the NPF Warehouse for a job well done, especially the prompt delivery of the projects. The warehouse rehabilitation project was executed with a little over N270 million, while the radio upgrade gulped over N190 million. I have directed the contractor to liaise with the office of the fire service Department in ensuring that all fire safety equipment is put in place and in accordance with all safety standards.

“After taking a look at the work done at the blocks of flats for Rank-and-File Quarters in Kubwa, I was dissatisfied with the standard of the work. I have asked the contractor to revisit the project and keep to agreed standards.”
