FG to connect police stations to fibre network under digital policing plan

The Federal Government has unveiled plans to digitise police stations nationwide through a new connectivity initiative aimed at strengthening law enforcement operations.

Minister of Communications, Innovation and Digital Economy, Bosun Tijani, announced the move after signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Nigeria Police Trust Fund.

The initiative, known as Project BRIDGE, will link police stations to Nigeria’s national fibre backbone, enabling real time data sharing and improved coordination across commands.

According to Tijani, the project will also support the deployment of digital tools, including artificial intelligence for incident response, case management, and predictive policing.

He said the move is part of efforts to extend Nigeria’s digital transformation agenda to security institutions and improve public safety.
