IGP Flags Off Gender-Based Violence Training for PPROs

The Nigeria Police Force has begun a three-day workshop in Kaduna to train Police Public Relations Officers (PPROs) from across northern Nigeria on Social and Behavioural Change Communication (SBCC), with a focus on how officers handle gender-based violence cases.
The training, which started on Tuesday, June 24, 2025, is being held in collaboration with CLEEN Foundation.
Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, who represented the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, during the virtual opening, said the training was part of ongoing efforts “to engender behavioural change in the Force.” He urged participants to take the sessions seriously.
“The training is critical to improving public engagement, building trust, and addressing the scourge of gender-based violence in the country,” ACP Adejobi stated.
The workshop features discussions on gender-sensitive policing, community relations, and communication techniques.
Acting Executive Director of CLEEN Foundation, Mr. Peter Maduoma, said the group’s focus is on using research and training to improve how security agencies operate.
“We support security institutions with research-based interventions that promote human rights, accountability, and professional conduct,” Maduoma said.
