Abuja, Nigeria — Renowned edutainment advocate and youth development leader, Tayo Folorunsho, is calling on Nigerians to reconsider their views of the Nigeria Police Force, encouraging the public to embrace the principle that “the police is indeed your friend.”
Speaking during a recent media engagement, Folorunsho shared his firsthand experience with the police during a recent student-centered event — a mountain hike designed to promote leadership, personal development, and civic responsibility among young Nigerians.
“The police came through for us in an incredible way,” said Folorunsho. “Not only did they provide essential security, they even deployed a helicopter to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their presence and encouragement were deeply impactful.”
He further disclosed that he recently paid a courtesy visit to the Force Headquarters, where he met with Assistant Commissioner of Police ACP Muyiwa Adejobi the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) of the Nigeria Police Force.
According to Folorunsho, the visit was part of a broader initiative to foster stronger ties between Nigerian students and law enforcement.
“Our mission is to educate students on the responsibilities, legal boundaries, and civic role of the police. Far too many youths grow up with a deep mistrust of law enforcement. We believe education and engagement are key to rebuilding that trust.”
Driving Youth Empowerment Through Edutainment
Tayo Folorunsho is a leading voice in Nigeria’s fast-growing edutainment movement — a powerful fusion of education and entertainment aimed at equipping students with real-world skills, civic awareness, and leadership values.
Through his dynamic events — which range from adventurous hikes to tech bootcamps and safety workshops — Folorunsho has impacted thousands of students across secondary and tertiary institutions. His programs often feature strategic collaborations with NGOs, private organizations, and security agencies to create holistic and impactful learning experiences.
With his continued advocacy for law enforcement collaboration and youth empowerment, Folorunsho is redefining how young Nigerians engage with civic institutions — using the power of edutainment to bridge gaps, inspire change, and shape a more informed, confident generation.
