In order to secure the success of the next general elections, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Usman Alkali, announced on Thursday that over 400,000 troops from the country's security agencies will be deployed.

He revealed this while participating in the Ministerial Media Briefing at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, which was hosted by the Presidential Communications Team.

According to him, the police will provide over 300,000 of these employees, with the remaining workers coming from additional security organizations across the nation.

The police chief identified several concerns to the election's conduct, such as a lack of fuel and a cash crunch, but he gave the assurance that both conditions would be stabilized before voting began.

“We are very sure the situation of cash and petrol will stabilize before the conduct of the election,” he stated.
