The Senate president receives the police IG.
The Senate President, Bukola Saraki, on Wednesday assured the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, of the readiness of the eighth National Assembly to pass two pending police related bills before the end of its tenure.The Senate president gave the assurance while receiving the IG and his entourage in his office at the National Assembly.
The Senate president reiterated the National Assembly’s commitment to strengthen the nation’s security. Mr Saraki was quoted as saying, “The performance of the Nigeria Police is key to our nation’s security. This is because apart from us ensuring that the institution is well-funded, we need to ensure that the police play its constitutional role in the security of our nation. Across party lines, the police can be reassured of our support to strengthen it as an institution.
“Another critical issue is the Police Reform Bill which has gone through public hearing with major input from stakeholders. We started this process before your tenure, but we can still allow a few more days before it is laid, so that you too can make your contributions.
