IGP Appoints New Force Gender Adviser






Recently the inspector general of police (IGP) Suleiman Abba, appointed CSP Olabisi Kolawole as the force gender adviser.
   According to a press statement, the IGP re- established the unit in a bid to strengthen the tides of violence against
women and girls in the country.
     In this light the new gender adviser would head the re- established unit and also seek to effectively address cases of violence against women and girls in the country.  Other roles to be performed by the force gender adviser include:
1.    Ensure the implementation of a robust capacity building plan for officers in gender related issues.

2.    Ensure the inclusion of gender training in Nigeria Police curriculum at all levels.

3.    See to the establishment of Gender Desk officers in Police Formations nationwide.

4.    Enhance the already existing collaboration with other stakeholders in the area of gender equality.
