The police boss is confident that the bill will engender efficiency in policing Nigeria
Mohammed Adamu, the inspector general of Police, IGP, has hailed the leadership and members of the National Assembly on the passage of the Police Trust Fund Bill, on Tuesday, March 9, 2019.
The Police Trust Fund Bill, when signed into law by President Muhammadu Buhari, will be pivotal to providing a legal framework for the management and control of the Special Intervention Fund for the training of personnel of the Force, procurement of operational equipment, infrastructures and maintenance of Police Stations across Nigeria.
The IGP noted that with the passage of the Bill, and hopefully, the eventual signing into law by the president, the federal government will be laying a solid foundation for the future of an effective and efficient structure for policing the country. He further observes that the passing of the Bill couldn’t have come at a better time than now when concerted efforts are being made at all levels to overcome issues of armed banditry, kidnapping and other heinous crimes across the country.
The IGP, therefore, thanked all stakeholders that helped in mobilizing supports for the passage of the Bill, especially, the Civil Society Organisations, CSOs; Human Rights Groups, Non-Governmental Organizations, NGOs; the Media, the Traditional Rulers Council of Nigeria amongst others.
