The senate president, Godswill Akpabio, has pledged the full cooperation and support of the National Assembly for better policing of Nigeria.
This was while calling on the police, particularly the inspector general, Kayode Egbetokun, to weed out bad officers from the force.
Akpabio said this at the maiden edition of the Nigeria police awards and commendations ceremony held on Monday evening in Abuja.
He encouraged the Police Force to find a more permanent solution to those who give the Nigerian Police a bad name in society.
He said that with the ever-evolving landscape of crime and the increasing sophistication of criminal gangs, obstacles are posed toward achieving this goal. However, with support and cooperation given to the police, it is possible to overcome these challenges and build a stronger and more effective police force.
The senate president commended the inspector general of police, Kayode Egbetokun, and the entire leadership of the Nigeria police force for organising the event.
He also urged them to use the occasion to celebrate the achievements of the Nigeria police force and to reiterate the commitment to working together for a safer and more secure Nigeria
Speaking further, Akpabio said his leadership will make legislative policies that will promote the welfare of policing.
”As the leader of the National Assembly, I pledge our full cooperation and support for the better policing of Nigeria. We recognise the importance of a well-equipped and motivated police force in ensuring the security and well-being of our citizens.”
”We will continue to work tirelessly to provide the necessary legislative framework and resources to enable the police to carry out their duties effectively.”
”In conclusion, I would like to express my gratitude to the Inspector General of the Police Egbetokun, and the leadership of the Nigeria Police Force for organising this prestigious event.”
”Let us use this occasion to celebrate the achievements of the Nigeria Police Force and to reiterate our commitment to working together for a safer and more secure Nigeria,” the senate president said.
