President Muhammadu Buhari, has approved salary increment for men and officers of the Nigeria Police Force.
The Inspector General of Police, IGP Mohammed Adamu disclosed this while addressing men and officers of Ogun State Police Command on Thursday.
While urging them not to be demoralised by the attacks suffered during the protest, he charged them not to be afraid of carrying out their duties as a result of the criticisms against them, saying no society survives without the police.
Adamu revealed that the President Muhammadu Buhari administration has taken various steps to reform the Nigerian police.
“The government has approved an extension of health scheme to retired police personnel. The police salary structure has been reviewed upward, affecting all ranks.”
He added further that plans were concluded for the renovation of police barracks across the nation.
Earlier speaking, the State Commissioner of Police, Edward Ajogun said the IGP’s visit would re-awaken the dampened morale of the police officers in the state.
According to him, seven divisional headquarters were vandalized in the state, while the DCO of Atan-Ota division, DSP Ogbeche lost his life.
