Saraki assures of passage of police reform bills
President of the Senate, Dr Bukola Saraki has assured the police authorities of speedy passage of Police Reform and Trust Fund Bills before the expiration of the Eight National Assembly.
In a statement by his media assistant, Olu Onemola, Saraki was said to have emphasised the commitment of the federal legislature to strengthen the nation’s security architecture. “Funding is a major issue, and I know that a lot of work has been done to ensure that the Police Trust Fund Bill get to its current stage in the House. Before the end of the 8th Senate, I want to assure you that we will pass this Bill.
“We would like you to take a close look at this Bill alongside the Committee, so that by next week, we can lay the Report of the Bill and pass it. Once we begin to address the issue of funding and institutional reform of the Police, many of the recent incidents that we have seen like the abductions yesterday on Abuja-Kaduna road, and the killing of the young man in Lagos, will also be addressed,” Saraki was quoted as saying.
