The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, has commended the Defense and Police Officers’ Wives Association (DEPOWA) for introducing a landmark initiative to provide full scholarships to children of fallen heroes.
The IGP gave the commendation while receiving a courtesy visit from DEPOWA to the Force Headquarters, Abuja.
The President of DEPOWA, Mrs. Oghogho Musa, who led other members of the association on the visit themed “Thank You to Our Troops” explained that the scholarship would commence with the commissioning of DEPOWA Future Leaders Academy scheduled for September 2026.
