Passage Of Police Trust Fund Bill Will Engender Efficiency In Policing The Country – IGP Adamu
BY VICTOR BUORO, ABUJA – The Inspector General of Police (IGP), Mohammed Adamu, 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 IGP said that when the Bill is signed into law by the President Muhammadu Buhari, it will serve as a 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 the country.
Adamu, in a statement by the Force Public Relations Officer, DCP Frank Mba, 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.
The police boss specifically said that the passage 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.
He therefore thanked all stakeholders that assisted in mobilizing supports for the passage of the Bill, especially, the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), Human Rights Groups, Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs), the Media, the Traditional Rulers Council of Nigeria amongst others.
