Bauchi Governor Advocates Police Dress Code Revision To Attract More Northern Women To Law Enforcement

Bauchi State Governor Bala Mohammed has urged the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) to adapt its dress code to encourage more Northern women to join the force. This call was made during a meeting at the Bauchi Government House with Elizabeth Egbetokun, the wife of the Inspector General of Police and President of the Police Officers Wives Association (POWA), as reported by Naija News.

Governor Mohammed highlighted the cultural and religious barriers that often discourage Northern women from pursuing careers in law enforcement. He stressed the importance of revising operational guidelines and dress codes within the NPF to address these challenges.

During the meeting, discussions also revolved around the Initiative of Young Women in Agriculture under the Police Agricultural Empowerment program. Egbetokun encouraged women in Bauchi to actively participate in this initiative, aimed at improving the economic status of their families through agricultural involvement.

Furthermore, Egbetokun commended Governor Mohammed for his notable contributions to the advancement of education, healthcare, and agriculture in Bauchi State. She expressed appreciation for the support received for initiatives empowering women across various sectors.
