They always come up with how much it will cost before they know what they are going to do.

THE Federal Government is set to fund the reform of the Nigeria Police with the sum of N1.5trillion, about 32 per cent of the total amount needed for the programme.

States and Local Governments are expected to provide 28 per cent while the balance has been allocated to the private sector.

Vice President Namadi Sambo, who disclosed this on Friday at the meeting of the committee on the Interim Implementation on the Reform of the Nigeria Police in the State House, Abuja, demanded for a comprehensive plan to enable stakeholders to the police in areas of need.

He directed the Minister of Police Affairs, Caleb Olubolade and the Acting Inspector General of Police, Abubakar Mohammed, to collaborate with the sub-committee already set up to come up with the actual needs by the police for further action.

The Vice President, who advised that the requirements of each of the state police command be harmonised to ensure that standard was maintained, also spoke on the role of the Civil Defence Corps, noting that the corps should assist the police in its responsibilities.

However, he stressed the need to examine the legal basis for the corps to bear arms.

Another avenue to embezzle, SMH

More money to steal,where shall we go from here?

Topic should have been: FG TO REFORM THIEVES/ARMED ROBBERS WITH 1.5 TRILLION NAIRA

Indonesian man sentenced to 30 months in prison for making athiest comments on Facebook

hehehe. . .more greese to their palms elbows

Push this story hard and the govt would distance itself from this report and then secretly shares the said funds. Talk of scamming in the highest order.

Another COMMITTEE that won't yield any good fruit.

SINCE MEN OF THE ANTI ROBBERY SQAD(ARS) FOILED A KIDNAPP ATTEMPT IN MY CHURCH LAST MONTH, I'VE TRUELLY BELIEVED DAT POLICE IS MY FRIEND. They should be shown some love joor! They are trying their best.

Nigerian Police needs more than financial reform. In fact they need Father Mbaka to lay hands on their head one-by-one.

BTW this Jona's government is a 'committocracy' i.e Government of committee's, for committee's and by committee's

How long are we going to keep suffering in this country? According to the report, the committee is yet to come up with what is to be done, yet the are already throwing the amount at us. How did they conclude on the amount?

@ballabrigs,we should know when someone is actually trying to do a good thing. The police force is long overdue for reform and overhaul,just like PHCN. Take a closer look at this two sectors and you will find out that the magnitude of decay therein s quite overwhelming, GEJ is trying to do what no one has done in the 52 year history of this nation(simply to stop the conduit pipes connected into this sectors from draining us further) let us not be too pessimistic and give this istration a chance.

i love this tittle :-D:-D

Honestly I for de laff if no be say I don tire with this kind news. Money, money, money. Day and night, money. No ideas, money. Before we think and plan, money. The little that goes to states and local governments they want to take back to fuel the ever bloated centre. I think at this point states should say no more. We want to take charge of our own security. If the Federal Government wants central law enforcement they should go to the IMF.

They always come up with how much it will cost before they know what they are going to do. What is the daily contribution at bus stops used for? Can't it pay part of the needed fund?

I am not one of them my brother, but the country has suffered a lot and all this decay we are seeing in character and works Issa a result of years of bad governance and wrong financial dealings. All I am saying is that we should give GEJ a chance to start the gradual change process, if you are to swap positions with him and wage the wars he is waging everyday, you will understand that our pas leaders really sold this nation and took us o the brink of destruction. I have begun to see why his detractors want him to fail........they are not having their way as usual. Think about it analytically,just the way I have done.

I don't think you realise just how much 1.5 trillion is. Are we gunning for a police state. We should be wary of too much resources going into unable hands. The police reform needed should first address the issue of equal access to justice. Absolute pan national neutrality, and not a police force that only responds to the executive and only expedites federal cases.

Why on earth will of a club contribute to a project for the sole benefit of the chairman. For what. I for one expect the national assembly to resist it if their are quickly mauled by law enforcement while their executive collaborators are excused. I expect the judiciary to resist it when their judgements are not respected and I expect state assemblies to get their pound of flesh. But will they?

these people need reformation na

There has been a lot of kill and divide going on in government circle. I hope this money for reforms will not go into private hands again. How is government going to monitor and ensure it doest? And who is going to monitor? Thats the big question.

....Nigeria police need enough money for its reform.what u should be saying is dat it should be taken care of gradually,there are alot of things necessary to fix in nigeria police.in fact,nigeria police is rotten.

Okay o!

Another conduit to siphon our God given financial resources.If only they can be truthful for once,then things will start getting better.

Police reform is a welcome development,but what about the same proposed reformed few years ago when they went to some churches soliciting for fund to equip the NPF to better serve the populist. My opinion is that NPF should be made to undergo a compulsory psychological courses. Because a great number of them don't know what policing means.

Yp! Witness this moment! This is when they (ur leaders) have now decided enough of stealing/talking in billions. Its time for the new era, of talking/stealing/looting in trillions!!!!! Eeeeha! Biaaatches!

From speaking in thousands to speaking in hundreds of thousands
From that to millions,
.....to hundreds of millions ...to billions....to hundreds of billions....
Now to trillions.........

Soon...hundreds of trillions. Does that sh[i]i[/i]t even exists?? Fucccccck daaamn!

Staaaay tunnned!
