The Nigeria Police Force, along with other security services assigned for election security management in the 2023 general elections, were praised for their dedication to ensuring the country’s electioneering process is secure.

Adejobi said, “The Mission noted that despite pockets of incidences recorded at some of the locations for the Presidential and National Assembly Elections, the election security management employed by the NPF and other security agencies deployed effectively ensured a de-escalation of the immediate security challenges.
“The IG appreciated the Mission for its visit and commendation, assuring that the NPF will always put its best foot forward to ensure that more effort is deployed for better and standardized election security management.
“He also urged stakeholders to follow through with the process even as they comply with the provisions of extant laws in all conduct during and after the 2023 general elections.”
