The Federal Government has failed to implement the new enhanced salary structure for police officers.
This is coming 19 months after the President, Major General, Muhammadu Buhari , approved a pay rise for them.The President in November 2018 approved an enhanced salary structure for the force.
“I am pleased to make the increase in salaries and allowances in the hope that it will increase the performance index of the police and strengthen Nigeria’s internal security system,” Buhari told the Police Service Commission and the police hierarchy. An Assistant Commissioner of Police confirmed that they had yet to receive the new salary despite rising inflation and the depreciating value of the naira.
Meanwhile, the Executive Director, Civil Liberties Organisation, Ibuchukwu Ezike, said the delay in payment of the new salary could affect the officers.
