Minister of State for Police Affairs, Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, has stressed the need for a reformed Nigeria Police Force to enhance security, which would boost potential investments and economic growth.
To achieve this, the minister, who was on a visit to the Lagos State Police Command yesterday, said efforts were made by the President Bola Tinubu-led administration to implement comprehensive and effective police reforms that would elevate the Nigeria Police Force to a modern standard.
A reform committee, according to her, had been constituted to work on 18 key targets that would modernize the Nigeria Police Force as well as pave the way for a better retirement life for personnel.
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, speak with one voice, and be very clear about our priorities. Looking at the low-hanging fruits, the reform will happen across every area of our operations,” she stated.
