AIG Yetunde Longe becomes first female police secretary

The first female secretary of the Nigerian Police Force, Yetunde Longe, is the Assistant Inspector General of Police, appointed by Inspector-General of Police Kayode Egbetokun. 

The appointment was made in support of the goal to guarantee female inclusivity and equity in all facets of appointments and operations within the Nigeria Police Force, according to a statement released on Wednesday by Olumuiya Adejobi, the Force Public Relations Officer. 

Adejobi observed that Longe had proven to be exceptionally dedicated and competent inside the Force, and that she brought a wealth of experience and skills to her new role.

He said, “She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Forensic Toxicology, which has significantly contributed to her proficiency in crime management and investigation.

“Her professional development is further enriched by her participation in advanced courses such as the Advanced Detective Course and Intermediate Command Course at Police Staff College Jos, and the Protection of Civilians course in Italy.”

Adejobi stated that since her appointment as a Cadet ASP on March 3, 1990, the new secretary has handled a number of important posts.
