President Muhammadu Buhari has restated his administration’s commitment to improving the welfare of officers and men of the Nigerian Police Force, saying it is necessary for effective policing.

President Buhari stated this in Abuja, as he received the 2021 audited report and 2023 budget proposal of the Police Service Commission (PSC).

According to him, his government has made the welfare of police officers and men a priority and police reforms a sacred duty.

While assuring the Acting Chairman of the PSC that their requests would be considered, President Buhari said that dwindling resources arising from fall in crude oil price and local production posed a major challenge which the present administration had to contend with.
