A multi-part documentary will trace the development of policing institutions in Nigeria, drawing on archive material and interviews.
The NPFTV documentary unit has begun production on a multi-part series tracing the development of policing institutions in Nigeria.
The series draws on archive photography, departmental records and interviews with serving and retired officers. Production is expected to run across several months, with episodes released as they are completed rather than as a single block.
Approach
The unit has described the editorial approach as documentary rather than promotional: the series is intended to record how the institution developed, including the periods of reform and the pressures that prompted them.
Archive material is being catalogued as part of the production. The network has indicated that photographs and documents cleared for release will be added to the website's media gallery as the series progresses.
Release
Episodes will be listed on the programmes section of this website. Where an episode is cleared for online release, it will be published through the network's official video channel and linked from the programme page.
