Minister for Police Affairs, Dr. Mohammed Maigari Dingyadi, has said that the Federal Government has fully implemented the demands presented by the #EndSARS protesters in October 2020.
\nMaigari-Dingyadi said this, yesterday in Abuja at the Public Dissemination of the Post-EndSARS\/Research and Training of Police Oversight Agencies on Oversight Mechanisms.
\nThe event was organized by Cleen Foundation with support from MacArthur Foundation.
\n\u2018Without prejudice to the findings contained in your #EndSARS Research Findings, let me assure this gathering and Nigerians in general.
\n\u201cThat the President Muhammadu Buhari-led administration has fully implemented the demands presented by peaceful protesters in October 2020, which was unfortunately hijacked by unpatriotic elements.
\n\u201cIt would be recalled that the government expeditiously approved the disbanding of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad, which was foremost among the demands of the protesters.
\n\u201cThe five demands of the protesters, otherwise known as the \u2018five for five\u2019 demands, also included setting up of independent investigation, justice for victims of police infractions, and re-evaluation of disbanded SARS personnel.
\n\u201cAnd an upward review of police emolument has been fully implemented by the government towards emplacing permanent solutions to trust deficit between the Police and the citizenry,\u201d he said.
\nThe minister added that Police Public Complaints Committee was set up at the ministerial level to give citizens an additional layer of redress against acts of infractions by the police.
\nHe said that the committee had gone around the six geopolitical zones to sensitise Nigerians on its mandate, adding that it had representatives from the ministry, Police Service Commission, Nigeria Police, Nigerian Human Rights Commission and NGOs, among others.
\nMaigari-Dingyadi, therefore, advised Nigerians to channel their petitions to the committee through Whatsapp number 09062547073 or voice call to 08081257561, 08187635365, 08081257561.
\nHe added that the petition should also be submitted via https:\/\/ppccpoliceaffairs.gov.ngor directly to his office at the Federal Secretariat Complex, Abuja.
\n\u201cPlease permit me to reiterate the fact that policing as the fulcrum upon which security revolves, requires inclusiveness to realise its fundamental objectives.
\n\u201cOur germane desire to promote food security, health security, economic buoyancy and all forms of human security, through community-based and technology-led policing, requires critical support of all stakeholders,\u201d he said.
\nMaigari-Dingyadi reassured Nigerians of the government\u2019s unwavering drive to modernise the police in line with global standards, adding that the capacity of officers had been enhanced in tune with the ongoing reform of the police.
\nHe commended the management and staff of Cleen Foundation for their strong advocacy, intervention, and unrelenting support towards building sustainable people-centric policing in Nigeria.
\nThe minister called for synergy between Nigeria and critical stakeholders in the review of police regulations and other initiatives to ensure proper reform of the police service.
\n\u201cI am confident that such interventions and similar capacity-building exercises organized by critical stakeholders will help to set a new record of police professionalism in the 2023 general election,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
