The reform of the Nigeria Police Force reqires a broad, multifaceted and long-term effort to overhaul the whole system to make it more effective and do away with the negative perception regarding the conduct of its officers. It also calls for the provision of better equipment and increasing the number of police personnel in the country especially with the growing threats across the country. The increment in remuneration for the Nigeria Police approved by President Muhammadu Buhari is expected to begin this month as disclosed by the Minister of Police Affairs earlier in December 2021 The minister, Muhammad Maigari Dingyadi, had on December 15, 2021, shortly after the Federal Executive Council (FEC) disclosed, while speaking to journalists, that the “peculiar allowance” increment which was approved for the police would take off from January 2022. His announcement came shortly after the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces also stated at the FEC meeting that there would be an increase in police salaries by 20%. According to him, the FEC meeting presided by the president, also approved the review of police duty tour allowance to six per cent and the release of N1.2 billion for the payment of uninsured benefits. Also approved was N1.2 billion for the payment of outstanding allowances and a tax waiver for junior police personnel which would take effect from October 2021. Dingyadi said the allowance will increase police personnel’s take-home pay by 20 per cent of their present earnings, stressing that the development was part of efforts of the Buhari-led administration to meet the #EndSARS demands. According to him, the major highlight of the increase is the provision of a 20 per cent peculiar allowance for the police. He said, “I am particularly very happy today to inform Nigerians that the Federal Executive Council has approved the review and upgrading of the take-home pay of police personnel in this country. “You recall that in October 2020, this country was rocked with #EndSARS protests and the president addressed the nation appealing for calm, after which he promised that the salary of the police will be reviewed in recognition of the services they have been rendering to the country, maintaining peace and tranquillity. “So, FEC has today approved a proposal for the review of their salaries, which will take effect from January 2022.  “So, if there are large scale panel reports that we have put together to say A,B,C,D are the things you need to fully reform Nigeria Police Force and put it in a state of optimum effectiveness, then government should have the political will to recall those documents and begin to implement them rather than leaving them at a very shallow state. “You pick a salary increment today, tomorrow, you will just do one training. So, the government needs to do more in terms of reforms in its totality.” The take-off of the increment and other approved packages will determine its impact, particularly on the perceived negative image and performance of the Nigeria police which was largely propelled by lack of proper welfare and poor working conditions.
