Usman Baba, inspector-general of police, says the force is
working on efforts to provide better security in the country.
Baba stated this on Wednesday when he appeared before the house of representatives committee on police affairs.
According to the IGP, the police under his watch will ensure
that Nigerians sleep with their “two eyes closed”.
“We are here this afternoon to interact with the chairman
and his members in the house of representatives who are also piloting the
affairs of the Nigerian police to discuss ways and means of making our job
easier and better, and also understand ourselves that we are all working
towards the same goal to bring betterment in policing, so that Nigerians can go
about their lawful businesses — Nigerians can sleep with their two eyes closed,
Nigerians can enjoy better security and better movement in this country,” he
said.
“We are also committed to giving our best in terms of
providing the desired leadership to the police personnel in this country.
“We are grateful for what we have seen so far as a level of
commitment from the ninth assembly towards making our job better, and by
extension, making Nigerians to benefit from better security management.”
In his remarks, Bello Kumo, chairman of the house committee
on police affairs, said the lower legislative chamber is committed to giving
the police the needed support to make it function effectively.
“The essence of this meeting is to communicate to the
Nigerian police and indeed Nigerians that this ninth assembly — under the able
leadership of the right honourable Femi Gbajabiamila and the team — we are not
only committed, we are resolute as to giving Nigeria the best police and the
best structure that can police this country,” he said.
“There is no better time than now. Look at the mood of the
nation. It is pertinent at this point for all of us to come together to
cross-fertilise ideas, look outside the box, and see how to police this country
effectively.
“I want to use this medium to congratulate the IGP
officially, but to equally implore the Nigerian police management that the task
ahead is a very herculean one.”
