Poor funding hindering Nigerian police performance – CLEEN Foundation
Poor funding has greatly inhibited the performance of the Nigeria Police Force,The Executive Director of the foundation, Benson Olugbuo, stated this while listing the challenges that brought about the enactment of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund Act.
The event which took place in Abuja, brought together government agencies, the Nigeria Police Force, media and civil society to foster the exchange of ideas and discuss the imperative of accountability framework and resourcefulness towards the effective implementation of the Police Trust Fund in Nigeria.
It will also enable the police to be on first line charge and would be funded by agreed percentages to be deducted from local and foreign businesses operating in the country.The foundation said avoiding wasteful and corrupt practices in the implementation of the Police Trust Fund would require an institutionalised culture of transparency and accountability in the processes from the beginning.
“This includes adherence to Public Expenditure Management principles of comprehensiveness, discipline, legitimacy, flexibility, predictability, honesty, information, transparency and a democratized process,” he said.
