Inspector General of Police, Muhammad
Abubakar, has revealed that a new salary
structure is being worked out for men of the
Nigeria Police to compare with their
counterparts abroad, the Police boss also
noted that by the middle of the year, 700 housing units would have been delivered to
officers in the inspectorate rank and file
cadre. Abubakar, who made this known at a get-
together of inspectors/rank and files, said the
year would be a better one for members of
the police as plans are ongoing towards
working out a new salary structure for them,
just as the Police had started to feed its officers who are on duty at the force
headquarters. According to him, “by the special grace of God
in 2013, I am putting every effort to ensure
that anywhere a policeman is on duty, he will
be fed,” saying these were measures being
taken to ensure that the officers were given
the benefit they deserved while in service. Therefore, towards this end, a technical
committee has been set up to look at the issue
of welfare, particularly the issue of salary
and allowances of members of the Nigerian
Police. The IG also assured that they are
putting all this efforts to ensure that they are guided to ensure that their officers are
respected, to ensure that Nigerians
understand what they should do and what
they should not do.
