Increase in policemen salaries will help reduce corruption in NPF - Nigerian students applaud Buhari

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) says it is optimistic that the recent increase in the salaries of police personnel by the federal government would help check corruption in the organisation.

NANS national public relations officer, Bestman Okereafor, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Enugu on Monday, December 10, that the move was in the right direction.

Legit.ng gathers that he, however, urged the federal government to look at the possibility of insurance cover for police personnel against accidents and sudden death; especially those in special units and formations that work on the field, day and night.

According to him, no benefit is too much to be given to these gallant officers, especially those who carry out their duties with sincerity and dedication.

“NANS wishes to specially commend the federal government especially President Muhammadu Buhari over the decision to upwardly review the monthly salaries of police personnel.

“NANS considers this as a progressive step. We have no doubt that the increase in wage will further enhance commitment and dedication in the Force.

“NANS is also optimistic that the move will greatly reduce corruption and bribery in the organization, in line with Buhari’s anti-corruption campaign,’’ he said.

Buhari’s Legacy Of Recessions By Fredrick Nwabufo

Fredrick Nwabufo ‘Why always Buhari?’ As it was in 1984 under General Buhari, so it is in 2016 and 2020 under President Buhari? Is it by the unfortunate hands of kismet that recession hits Nigeria every time Buhari takes charge of the country’s affairs? If the recession of the 80s under Buhari was a conspiracy by economic and political factors, to what do we attribute that of his first coming as a civilian President — and now in his second coming? Why does pestilence scourge the land, hunger ravage the population and lives lost malevolently when Buhari presides over the country? Why always Buhari? Buhari’s undoing is his wonted predilection for hierarchising ethnicity, religion and loyalty above competence. Since 1999, no President has obtrusively shown a more nepotistic aspect than Buhari.
