Expressing his sincere gratitude to the UNODC for their support and commending their efforts and mode of this survey, the IGP emphasized anew his vision for the Nigeria Police Force and Nigeria as a whole, stating that the results of this survey would serve as motivation for the NPF to intensify its efforts in combating crime and corruption, and setting a greater standard.
