With few days to the beckoning hours of the 2019 general elections, an emerging report has indicated that the federal government has approved the payment of the new salary boost to men of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF).

The Independent reports that the new payment scale, which will commence next week, will be targeted towards boosting the morale of policemen for effective performance in the forthcoming elections.

Legit.ng gathers that the new payment scale was approved by President Muhammadu Buhari in November 2018 with report claiming that presidency released a special fund two weeks ago for the payment.
