President Buhari gave the charge on Tuesday at the State House, Abuja, when he received the 2018 Annual Report of the commission. He urged them to redouble their efforts in ensuring that the Force delivers on its responsibilities.
“The commission has the most challenging responsibility of carrying out oversight responsibilities of the Police Force. “The people that comprise this commission are mostly personally known to me and some of them have been through the mill as it were; therefore I expect them to put the Police in order.
“I personally believe that the Inspector General is doing his best …the Police are always in the frontline and unless we get the police working effectively, the security of this country will remain in doubt,” he said in a release issued today by his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Femi Adesina.
He said, by the mandate of the Commission, the task of appointment, promotion and disciplinary control of officers of the Nigerian Police Force, except the Inspector General, fall under it. “Your assignment is enormous and calls for sacrifice and commitment especially now that almost every country is faced with severe internal security challenges. Nigeria is no exception,” he added.
