Poor living conditions: Nigerian lawmakers ask FG to sell all police barracks in the country

The House of Representatives has called for the sake of police barracks across the country to tackle the deplorable living conditions of officers.

The resolution by the House comes after the adoption of a motion of urgent public importance by Murphy Omoruyi (LP-Edo) during plenary in Abuja on Thursday, October 26.

Leading the debate, Mr Omoruyi said that the National Assembly passed the Police Reform Bill 2020, which was signed into law by former President, Muhammadu Buhari on 16 September 2020.

He said that one of the core issues of the Act was to address the living conditions of the nation’s police officers.

He said, “Between 2019 – 2022 more than N5 billion was spent by the Federal Government on renovation of barracks.”

Mr Omoruyi said that all efforts made to rehabilitate the barracks failed.

He said there had been robust national debate and calls for more community-oriented policing strategies.
