The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has expressed
determination not to be left behind in the scheme of things as far as Information
and Communication Technology for Development (ICT4D) is concerned, reports
ITRealms.
The Inspector General of Police (IGP) of Police,
represented by the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) and DC in charge of CIID
Zone 2, Onikan, Lagos, Mr. Isaac Akinmoyede, gave this assurance at the
commencement of Computer Acquisition Programme (CAP) by the NPF Microfinance in
conjunction with the Intel West Africa and Airtel Nigeria on Wednesday.
He also listed some advantages of acquiring Personal
Computers (PC) by men and women of the Police force, stressing that “if you
want an album, the PC could be used to create one; typing of documents and online
transactions, depending on your needs.”
He also said that even as a senior officer, bulk of his
documents are typed by himself, even as such documents could be transferred
from mobile device like phones to PC.
He advised them to first think of the benefits the PC and
what the acquisition programme could offer them rather than looking at the
cost.
“You can also do online transaction, so the benefit of
ICT cannot be over emphasis,” he said.
