The outgoing Minister of Police Affairs, Muhammad Dingyadi, said at the weekend, that the determination of the federal government to reform the police and engender infrastructural development, provide equipment and modern communication gadjets to the Nigeria Police culminated in the scaling up of police budget from N15 billion in 2015 to N400 billion presently.
He spoke during the handing over ceremony to the Permanent Secretary in the ministry, Mr. Abel Enitan, at the Ministry of Police Affairs, Federal Secretariat, Abuja. “Mr president has given us all that we have asked of him. When we just came in the police budget was just about N15 to N16 billion but look at it now, we are talking about N400 billion annually for the police so we have done a lot”, he said.“We would have not achieved what we have done so far in the Ministry without your support.
“I think we would have done very well as the police needed our attention but due to poor budgetary allocation, we could not address some issues”, he said.
