President Muhammadu Buhari,
Monday promised to increase the salary, allowances and pensions of the Nigerian
Police force and tasked them to do more in the protection of human life.
He assured that his
administration will continue to give attention to the welfare and operational
needs of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) with a view to restoring its lost
primacy in the internal security framework of the country.
Speaking during an audience in
State House, Abuja with members of the Nigeria Police Service Commission and
the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force on a “Thank You” visit following his
approval of Rank Salary Structure Adjustment, by which salary, allowances and
pension of policemen will be increased, President Buhari regretted that the
inability of the police in their constitutional role as the frontline force in
the prevention of crime, had led to military involvement in the maintenance of
law and order throughout the country.
According to the President, “From Taraba to Sokoto, to the South-South, people don’t feel secure until they see the military. I am pleased to make the increase in salary and allowances in the hope that it will increase the performance index of the police and strengthen Nigeria’s internal security system.”

President Buhari observed that
the more efficient the police is, the more confident the government and
citizens will be.
According to him, “The military
should be reserved for higher tasks. The police should be able to cope well
with the challenges of armed robbery, kidnapping for ransom and such crimes. In
every town and village, there is the presence of the police. From all these
places, they should be able to forward first class intelligence to you on which
to act.”
“There is a need to amplify the question of more men of the police, especially given the condition we are in – emergency in the North-East, pervasive insecurity and abduction for ransom and banditry in many parts of the country. I congratulate you on the success you recorded against criminals taxing people and stopping them from their farms. We are expecting more from you,” the President told the police.

Full-time Commissioner in the
Nigeria Police Service Commission, Justice Clara Ogunbiyi (rtd), who
represented the chairman, Musiliu Smith, had informed the President that the
Rank Salary Structure Adjustment would enhance police welfare and morale.
The Inspector General of Police,
Ibrahim Idris, also assured that the police would redouble efforts to ensure
free, fair and credible elections throughout the country next year.
