The new operational uniform for officers and men of the Nigeria Police Force may cost the Federal Government about N1.7bn, even as efforts are being put in place to professionalise the force following the recent security challenges in the country.

The new blue and camouflage uniform was introduced last year to replace the traditional black dress, which has been in use for about three decades.

President Goodluck Jonathan had in March 2012, approved a test-run of the blue camouflage dress as one of the operational attires of the police, pending the time when the black and black uniform would be totally phased out.

The camouflage, which is an admixture of black, white and ash colours, would serve as an operational dress alongside the current ones being worn by officers and men of the force.

It was learnt that the N1.7 billion was approved by the Presidency for the purchase of the new uniform as part of measures to reform and launder the image of the force.

Speaking in an interview with National Mirror yesterday, Deputy Force Public Relations Officer, Frank Mba confirmed the approval of fund for the scheme. He however did not mention the amount.
