Male dormitory 10, is one of those built
by Nigerian colonial masters in 1940. Today, its windows and doors are
damaged with no plans for any repairs. There is no electricity and the
occupants point out blood stains from bed bug bites.
The female hostels are no better. Meanwhile, the recruits will spend 13 months of their lives in there.
The College once had an Olympic-size
swimming pool which is now a breeding ground for toads. It used to win
medals for shooting all over West Africa but there is no shooting range
anymore.
According to Jonah Mavah,
the Deputy Commandant of the College, there has been no major
development since establishment except for some few renovations. The
College itself was built for 700 students but today, it contains 2,554.
As for the library, the Staff says they cannot remember the last time
books were supplied to the library which is full of museum pieces and
antiquities called books bought in the 1970s.There are 7 police colleges in Nigeria and a total of 18,500 constables graduated as at December 2012.
In 2013, a sum of N311 billion naira has
been budgeted for the Nigerian Police. It is hoped this money would be
used judiciously and a significant part of it be allocated to improving
infrastructure in the Police College and other facilities of the
Nigerian Police.
