The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) will soon storm the National Assembly to press for more funding for the Nigeria Police Force, an official of the student’s body says.

Comrade Chidi Ilodebe, NANS Vice-President (National Affairs), disclosed this in a statement issued on Sunday in reaction to recent police efforts.

He said NANS action would further be in appreciation of police intervention in the country’s security situation and their demonstration of professionalism in tackling conflicts in the country.

“With the last Senate (the Eighth Assembly) passing the Nigeria Police Reform Bill and with the commitment and patriotism demonstrated so far by the Police management team led by Inspector-General Abubakar Adamu, Nigerians are confident that there is a ray of hope.

“They believe that with more funding, motivation and training of our policemen and women in line with best global practices, we will be proud to have a Police Force we will be proud of and call our own,” Ilodebe said.

He added that NANS was of the view that any lover of the Nigerian project must join Nigerian students’ call for better Nigerian police, that is well funded and motivated.


“As much as the government is initiating policies to attract foreign investment to Nigeria, we must also secure our country first.”

The NANS official then appealed to the National Assembly leadership to support the initiative as “all hands must be on deck towards a better reformed, trained and motivated Nigeria Police Force”.

He also called on all state, zonal and national executive members to start mobilising other members for this Nigeria Police Support Rally at the National Assembly.

“Doing so will help Nigerians to see Nigerian students demonstrating patriotism as usual because policemen and women are our fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, and in-laws.

“So, it is something NANS is doing for our selves and a better Nigeria,” Ilodebe said.

Okay

The government is more concerned about cows than the security of lives in Nigeria.
When we're done with RUGA and there's change left, we'll fund the police!

Which stupid police?

Which stupid police?

E don be!

Rented Crowd!

Students that should be more concerned about funding of universities and teaching hospitals.
The FG can increase funding in multiple fold if they like, it would never make a difference in a system that celebrates and promotes the Mainas of this world.

NANS no be NANS again
Missing old good days when student bodies were even stronger than Labour movement

How about concentrating on Nigerian students' issues, which should be your primary concern? The Madonna students and lecturer vs Fr. Edeh's case is still fresh but you didn't storm the court in solidarity. If you are getting paid to put your hands where it doesn't belong, be sure it is the same police you are fighting for that will use tear gas and live bullets on you. All parents should warn their freshers'wards to be careful not to be used as stooges in an economic game as this.

just calm down and see how the protest will record less 15 persons but if na COZA ehhnnnnn hehehehe

What concerns NANS with police funding?? Misplaced Priorities

That's to show you that this country can hardly get better.
They are only looking for means of getting money, once there's no ASUU issues, NANS will always be looking for useless means to collect money from Abuja.

Las Las, those one will be the one to be contesting for future political posts.
I don't know why God created this country sef

Oh

Stewpid NANS, You didn't demonstrate over arrest and demand of 40k for each person arrested at viewing centre, you want to demonstrate for police funding, misplaced priority. We have lost it with youths of this God's rejected country. NANS receive sense

when we are done with ruga settlement, if change remain we go find una something
