President Bola Tinubu on Monday charged the Nigeria Police Force to safeguard the nation’s security and make its wellbeing their priority.
According to him, economic prosperity, social integration, political development and national stability thrives when security and public order are pursued and guaranteed. He also urged them to foster social integration by being fair, just and firm to both complainant and accused. The governor also urged the National Assembly to come up with a bill for a special police fund where national and subnational governments must agree on a percentage of the federation account to be reserved for sufficient police funding.
The IGP also announced the establishment of the Special Intervention Squad which would be deployed to every command to deal with state salient security challenges.
