Amidst Rising Insecurity, FG Reduces the Proposed Police Budget By N92.9 Billion.

Published

on

The Federal Government has lowered the Nigeria Police Force’s projected budget by over N93 billion, a condition that the security outfit has warned will stymie its efforts to properly combat the country’s growing insecurity.
The police blamed the reduction mostly on the government’s envelope budgeting system and urged the National Assembly to exclude the NPF from it.
In a presentation to the National Assembly, the Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, decried the Budget Office of the Federation’s slashing of the outfit’s proposed budget from N889,681,595,517.74 to N796,785,034,379.56, warning of the impact on the security outfit and its consequences for the country.
The IG made this known to the Senate and House of Representatives Committees on Police Affairs on Tuesday behind closed doors while defending the proposed budget of the NPF in the 2023 Appropriation Bill.

While the police are statutorily in charge of internal security, the Armed Forces are to protect the territorial integrity of the country, against external aggression.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

However, several security committees of the National Assembly and Service Chief have on different occasions expressed dissatisfaction that the military was now involved in internal operations in almost all the 36 states of the federation.

For example, the Chairman of the House Committee on Defense, Babajimi Benson, stated on November 9, 2021, following a 2022 budget defense session with the Defense Space Administration, that the Armed Forces were carrying out their obligations despite their limited resources.
“When there is kidnapping or banditry in Nigeria, everyone phones the Armed Forces.”
Our Armed Forces are taking on roles that have historically been entrusted to the police,” he remarked in part.
Meanwhile, the Ministry of Defence and the Armed Forces have received nearly N1.248 trillion in budgetary support.
The Nigerian Army, Nigerian Air Force, and Nigerian Navy would receive the greatest share of the record military budget, totaling N638,108,156,198, N174,423,669,604 and N158,790,615,183, respectively , out of the 18 military and defense organizations awarded the whole figure.The police boss also criticised the N35,705,675,512 allocation to capital expenditure of the NPF in 2023.

“This figure is also grossly inadequate to meet the capital cost of the force in relation to acquisition of critical operational assets including patrol vehicles, arms and ammunition, aircraft, intelligence/surveillance equipment as well as infrastructural items to optimally meet our policing mandate, particularly in the face of current complex security and criminal threats that the Force is dealing with across the country,” Baba stated.
