Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, the minister of state for police affairs, has emphasized the necessity of reforming the Nigeria Police Force in order to improve security and attract prospective investments and economic growth.
In order to do this, the minister stated during a visit to the Lagos State Police Command yesterday that the administration of President Bola Tinubu was working nonstop to enact comprehensive and efficient police reforms that would bring the Nigeria Police Force up to modern standard.
She said that a reform committee had been established to focus on eighteen major goals aimed at modernizing the Nigeria Police Force and laying the groundwork for improved retirement benefits for staff members.
She said, “”I’m sure you may all be aware we have had eight reform papers since 1999 but none has been implemented to a satisfactory level. But we have to at this point, put our heads together, spoke with one voice, to be very clear about our priorities. Looking at the low hanging fruits, the reform will happen across every area of our operations,” she stated.
