About NPFTV

Our Vision

To be the most trusted source of police and public safety information in Nigeria: a credible national broadcaster that gives the Nigeria Police Force a direct voice to the citizens it serves, and gives citizens a clear and verifiable view of the institution that serves them.

Our Mission

To inform, educate and inspire the Nigerian public through accurate, timely and professionally produced broadcasting. NPFTV reports the work of the Nigeria Police Force in the Force's own voice, delivers practical public safety education that citizens can act on, documents the officers and the institutions behind the uniform, and provides accurate context wherever misinformation threatens public trust or national security.

Our Objectives

The network's work is directed towards a defined set of outcomes, each of which is measurable in the reach, accuracy and usefulness of what NPFTV publishes.

• Establish a recognised national channel

  so that verified police information reaches the public directly, at the moment it is confirmed.

• Communicate the mandate of the Force

  its activities, its reforms, and the standards it holds itself to.

• Deliver citizen education that works

  practical guidance on crime prevention, cybercrime, emergency preparedness and civic rights, written for a general audience.

• Document the Force and its people

  the units, the postings and the officers whose work the public rarely sees.

• Answer misinformation with context

  accurate, sourced reporting, without compromising the independence of the wider media.

• Reach Nigerians at home and abroad

  across television, streaming, social media, documentaries and podcasts.

• Build for what comes next

  a platform that extends to live broadcasting and a national station network without being rebuilt.

Strategic Priorities

The network's editorial and operational agenda is organised around six priorities set out in the NPFTV institutional brief.

• Authoritative Public Information

  verified operational updates, official statements and safety advisories.

• Transparency and Public Trust

  clear insight into operations, reforms, accountability and the officers who serve.

• Citizen Education

  practical programming on crime prevention, cybercrime, emergency preparedness and civic rights.

• Digital Innovation

  one network across television, streaming, social media, documentaries and podcasts.

• Responsible Narrative

  accurate context and a response to misinformation, without compromising the independence of the wider media.

• National Security Communication

  timely information and stronger cooperation between citizens and law enforcement.

Mandate and Responsibilities

NPFTV operates as the broadcasting and public information arm of the Nigeria Police Force. Its responsibilities span official communication, public education and the documentation of the Force's work.

• Publish verified official information, statements and advisories on behalf of the Force.

• Produce and broadcast television programming that explains policing to the public.

• Deliver citizen education on crime prevention, cybercrime, emergency preparedness and civic rights.

• Document the institutional activities, reforms and personnel of the Nigeria Police Force.

• Provide accurate context in response to misinformation affecting public safety and national security.

• Maintain an accessible digital record of the network's news, programmes and media productions.

Role in Public Information and Awareness

In an environment of fast news cycles and widely circulated false narratives, NPFTV gives the Nigeria Police Force a direct, verifiable channel to the public. The network publishes information in its own voice, at the moment it is confirmed, and makes that record permanently accessible — so that citizens, journalists and institutions can distinguish official information from rumour. Where a report is found to be inaccurate, NPFTV corrects the record and marks the correction rather than amending it silently.

Leadership and Management

NPFTV operates under the Office of the Inspector General of Police at Force Headquarters, Louis Edet House, Abuja. The Inspector General of Police is Olatunji Riliwan Disu. Editorial and operational responsibility for the network sits with its management team, working to the standards set out above and under the authority of the Office of the Inspector General.

• Office of the Inspector General of Police

  institutional authority and oversight of the network.

• Editorial management

  verification standards, publication decisions and corrections.

• News and current affairs

  the daily bulletin, official statements and public advisories.

• Documentary and features

  long-form production, archive research and institutional record.

• Public education

  crime prevention, cybercrime awareness and emergency preparedness programming.

• Production and engineering

  studio operations, field crews and transmission.

• Regional contribution

  reporting from state commands into the national output.

Institutional Background

NPFTV was established to give the Nigeria Police Force a broadcasting capability of its own. It reflects a straightforward judgement: that an institution which interfaces daily with citizens, and which carries the central responsibility for internal security, should be able to explain its work directly rather than rely entirely on how others choose to report it. The network is being built to international broadcasting standards and across multiple platforms — television, streaming, social media, documentary and podcast — so that the same verified information reaches audiences wherever they already are. Its first phase establishes the network's digital presence and publishing capability; subsequent phases extend that foundation into live national broadcasting and a connected network of state stations across the federation.
