Tinubu Proposes New Police Trust Fund Bill to Boost Funding and Accountability

President Bola Tinubu has sent a bill to the House of Representatives seeking repeal and re-enactment of the Police Trust Fund Act. The aim is to update the legal framework of the Nigeria Police Trust Fund (NPTF) and ensure stronger, more sustainable financing for the force. The proposed law would enhance training programmes, provide modern equipment and technology, and improve welfare provisions for officers. It also introduces stricter transparency and accountability measures to ensure funds are managed effectively. Citing escalating security challenges nationwide, the President urged lawmakers to give the bill urgent attention and pass it without delay. This move forms part of broader federal efforts to reform the police system and strengthen national security.
