The choice of Erinja as the host community followed recommendations from a high-level consultative meeting involving key stakeholders, including the Minister of Police Affairs, the Minister of Education, Tunji Alausa, officials from the Federal Ministry of Education, the Inspector-General of Police, and the Executive Secretary of the National Universities Commission (NUC).
Discussing at the meeting considered factors such as student intake capacity, funding availability, academic quality assurance, and the increasing manpower demands of the Nigerian Police Force, which is currently ramping up recruitment efforts.
