President Goodluck Jonathan on Saturday at the Police Academy in Wudil, during the passing out ceremony of Cadet Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) and Inspectors said that the Federal Government would continue to support the police and other security agencies to enable them to discharge their duties effectively.

He was represented by Vice-President Namadi Sambo, who said that the government support was necessary to enable the police and other security agencies to tackle all the security challenges facing the country efficiently.

“For us as a government, the challenge of terrorism remains a battle which we cannot afford not to win.

“It has, therefore, become extremely imperative that all efforts and resources be deployed towards the achievement of that primary constitutional mandate of providing security for the people’s lives and property,’’ he said.

“It in pursuance of this objective that the government recently recruited 9,000 soldiers into the Nigerian Army,’’ he said.

He commended the Inspector-General of Police, Alhaji Mohammed Abubakar, for his commitment to efforts to reposition the police force for effective service delivery and also expressed his administration’s determination to remould the police force into a combat ready and vibrant force.

A total of 577 cadet officers -- 335 ASPs and 242 Inspectors -- graduated from the academy on Saturday.
