The Kebbi State Police Command has taken its youth-focused campaign, tagged “My Future Is Greater Than Political and Digital Thuggery,” to communities and the streets as part of activities marking International Youth Week 2026.
The campaign, which commenced on August 20, is aimed at sensitising young people against political thuggery, manipulation and digital incitement, while promoting peace, responsible citizenship and positive youth engagement.
The Command said the initiative would be sustained across the state through continuous lectures and sensitisation programmes by POCACOV, in collaboration with community leaders and youth organisations.
As part of the concluding activities, the Police Command organised a novelty football match between a police team and youths in Birnin Kebbi, providing an opportunity to strengthen police-youth relations through sports and positive interaction.
