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.
In a statement issued on Monday by his Special Adviser on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, the President also released a special take-off grant of N15 billion for the campus.
The approval aligns with the Nigeria Police Academy (Establishment) Act, 2021, which permits the expansion of the main academy in Wudil, Kano State, into multiple campuses across the country.
The N15 billion will be sourced from the Tertiary Education Trust Fund (TETFund) 2026 allocation and will be used for critical infrastructure, academic facilities, student hostels, and essential training equipment.
The choice of Erinja followed recommendations from a high-level 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).
The decision took into consideration student intake capacity, available funding, academic standards, and the Nigerian Police Force’s increasing manpower needs as it intensifies recruitment.
