President Muhammadu Buhari has pledged to bequeath a citizen-led policing system to the nation at the end of his eight-year rule in 2023.
He stated that his administration has demonstrated firm commitment towards changing the principle and strategy of policing.
He mandated the Ministry of Police Affairs to receive complaints from the public on cases of abuse and maltreatment by police personnel.
Buhari added that he has directed the National Salaries, Incomes and Wages Commission to review upward police emoluments.
He said the new pay structure would be commensurate with the vital functions of the police performed as the lead agency in internal security operations.
