The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mr. Kayode Egbetokun, has reaffirmed commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to collaborate closely with the banking sector to protect investors’ confidence and strengthen the stability of Nigeria’s financial sector.
The IGP, who gave this assurance during an engagement with the Chartered Institute of Bankers of Nigeria and the Body of Bankers’ Chief Executive Officers in Lagos on Thursday, said the move is expected to boost investor sentiment, which remains critical to attracting and retaining investments.
Addressing participants, Egbetokun assured the bankers of the support of the Police Force, noting that disruptions to banking operations in any part of the country could erode trust in financial channels, weaken participation in the formal economy, and expose Nigeria to reputational risks within the global compliance environment.
