“We are aware that the NPTF's primary source of funding is 0.5% of the total revenue accruing to the federation account. However, Kwara State, has not enjoyed much benefits from the NPTF. Therefore, I request the intervention of the NPTF to consider the following:

Rehabilitation of police training School, Ilorin, upgrading the training facilities to enhanced capacity of police personnel; rehabilitation of the Police Command Headquarters and some selected Divisional Police Offices.
