Senate passes Police Trust Fund Bill
The Nigerian Senate on Tuesday passed the Nigerian Police Trust Fund Bill (HB 894).
The Senate announced the passage of the bill via its Twitter handle of the Senate President @SPNigeria.
The President of the Senate, Dr. Bukola Saraki, had promised the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, that the Senate would fast-track its work on both the Police Trust Fund Bill and the Police Reform Bill.
Reacting to the passage of the Bill, which has also been passed by the House of Representatives, Saraki said:
“By passing this bill, we will be creating big strides towards providing and improving security and the policing in our country.
“One of the major concerns has always been the issue of funding. We believe that this bill will provide the funding needed for training and recruitment.
“I am confident that by the time we lay the report on the Police Reform Bill, we would have gone a long way in moving the police in the right direction.”
