A new salary package is underway for the officers and men of the Nigerian police.
This was made known by the Minister of Police Affairs, Mohammed Dingyadi, on Tuesday, during a session of 2022 budget defence with the Joint National Assembly Committee on Police Affairs led by their chairmen Haliru Jika (Senate) and Hon. Bello Kumo (House of Representatives) which held at the Senate wing of the national assembly.
He said that in recognition of the take-home pay of the police which necessitated the need to motivate them for better performance, President Buhari has directed the Salaries and Wages Commission to work out a new salary package for the Nigerian Police and submit it to the government for consideration.
Dingyadi noted that the Commission is already in consultation with the relevant stakeholders and a proposal has been submitted to the government which is being given the desired and urgent attention.
