The Speaker House of Representatives, Rep. Femi Gbajabiamila has said that additional draft of police reform will be ready in thirty days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He made this known in a statement to the House of Representatives on Wednesday in Abuja.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker expressed how the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has abused their mandate and failed to live up to its expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Every day, throughout our country, interactions between the police and our citizens result in acts of horrific brutality, extortion, and retribution against the Nigerian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Too many of the people we have assigned to protect our citizens have shown themselves unworthy of that calling. Their actions betray our trust and wreak unquantifiable damage on the already frayed fabric of our society,\" he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker therefore deemed it fit for the parliament to step in to draft additional police reforms to ensure that NPF are appropriately held accountable for their actions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"For the benefit of a functioning system of policing in Nigeria, it is now necessary that parliament steps in to introduce an independent, fair and practical approach to ensure that those to whom we grant the authority to act in the name of the State, are held to the highest standards of professional conduct.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Over the next thirty days, the House of Representatives will work with the Nigeria Bar Association (NBA), with civil society and with Nigerians of good conscience to draft new legislation that establishes a system of independent accountability that: \"holds erring members of the Police Force to account for their conduct in the performance of their duties and imposes civil and criminal liability for violations of the Police Code; and also compels the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) to take responsibility for the failures of training and discipline that leads to such violations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"The constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Section 215(5) states that \u201cThe question whether any and if so what, directions have been given (to the Police) under this section shall not be inquired into in any court\u201d. This provision presents a singularly obstinate obstacle to any system of effective judicial review of policing in Nigeria. Therefore, any reforms of the operations of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) must include a constitutional amendment to expunge this painfully undemocratic clause from our country\u2019s constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Substantive and wholesale reform of policing institutions is never an easy undertaking. From Europe to America, and across Africa, we have seen such efforts begin and falter. Police reforms succeed when such reforms have the support of the citizens who are determined to see the process through to a rewarding end, regardless of whatever obstacles might exist along the way,\" Gbajabiamila explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Speaker pleaded with Nigerians to give their ultimum support as they begin this endeavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\"Let us work together to achieve the vision of a nation where the citizens trust the police to always act in the public\u2019s best interest by respecting the rights of citizens and following the due process of law.\"<\/p>\n","post_title":"House of Reps to partner stakeholders to draft additional police reforms","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"house-of-reps-to-partner-stakeholders-to-draft-additional-police-reforms","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-07 14:46:29","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-07 14:46:29","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=396","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":393,"post_author":"15","post_date":"2020-10-07 14:40:13","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-07 14:40:13","post_content":"\n

Security at the National Assembly has been tighten ahead of President Muhammadu Buhari's 2021 budget presentation. Buhari is expected to present a N13.08 trillion budget proposal for 2021 before the joint sitting of the National Assembly (Senators and members of House of Representatives) by 11am on Thursday, 8th October 2020. Anyone who is conversant with the movement of the President would immediately know on arriving the National Assembly that the country's number one man would be visiting. The security at the NASS has been boosted and tightened with mostly men of the Department of State Security (DSS) who were deployed specially for the occasion. As early as 6am on Thursday, men of the DSS have taken over the security at the inner gate alongside the Sergents-at-arms. The two main entrances have been fully taken over by mixture of men in black suit and DSS official uniform. The Assembly Lobby to the Green Chambers and the lower entrance that leads to the banks are manned by the security operatives. The side entrance of the Green Chamber, where the joint sitting would hold has beenntaken over by Villa security, while a mixture of men from the DSS and Sergeants-at -Arms secured the main entrance. A special gate pass were provided for those cleared to have access into the assembly for this annual ritual of budget presentation by the country's leader. Journalists who were not issued tag had tough time getting through as theybwere denied access until a senior official intervene before they were cleared and allowed in after about one hour waiting. Besides, only those who have business in the premises were allowed in as most workers have been asked to stay at home through an internal memo issued the previous day. The corridors of the NASS are empty today.

But happily on this drizzly morning, both his anxiety and her physical pain are over; mother and child have been discharged and the family is ready to go home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When Daima initially found out she was pregnant, the first thing that came to her mind was where she would get ante natal care (ANC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was looking for a clean clinic manned by amiable and trained health workers,\u201d said Daima, 26, a business administration graduate. \u201cThis was my first pregnancy. I was excited I was going to be a mother and I wanted to do my ANC in a clinic where I would be taken good care of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thankfully, Daima didn\u2019t have to search for long, as she quickly discovered Major Aminu PHC, located in Dubeli ward, Yola north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\u00a9 UNICEF Nigeria\/2019\/Owoicho<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Major Aminu PHC is one of scores of clinics that have been renovated by UNICEF with funds provided by the European Union. The project, called \u2018Support to Strengthening Primary Health Care and Community Resilience for Improved Maternal, New-born, Child Health & Nutrition (MNCHN) Outcomes in Northern Nigeria\u2019, covers the states of Adamawa, Bauchi and Kebbi. Its objective is to improve maternal, newborn and child health care and nutrition services in the project\u2019s states of coverage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since its initial funding in 2017, the project has had a positive impact on primary healthcare services in its states of focus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Adamawa, it has provided means for the hiring of no fewer than 1,130 health workers in different service areas, and ensured that the state\u2019s 226 Primary Health Care Centres are functional 24 hours a day, Additionally, under the project 140 PHCs are being refurbished and will receive vital equipment such as delivery beds, microscopes, baby dressing tables, mobile storage units and essential medicines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe commend UNICEF and EU for bringing positive development to the health sector in Adamawa State,\u201d said Dr. Batulu Muhammad, Executive Chairman of Adamawa State Primary Health Care Development Agency. He was speaking during the handover of the renovated PHC back to the Adamawa State government. \u201cCommunity members must maintain the facility for optimal health care delivery,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey (MICS) 2017 report, only 37.5 per cent of deliveries in Nigeria take place at a health facility and only 43 per cent of women are attended to by skilled health personnel during birth. Following delivery, just 49 per cent of pregnant women attend ANC clinics for the recommended minimum four visits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe potential to improve on the statistics is huge with the progress being made under the EU-funded project,\u201d Bhanu Pathak, UNICEF Chief of Field Office Bauchi, said during in a speech at the inauguration of the Major Aminu PHC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThanks to the funds provided by the EU under this project, we\u2019re committed to supporting Adamawa State implement interventions that will help the state attain the (UN) Sustainable Development Goals.\u201d<\/p>\n","post_title":"In NorthEast Nigeria, refurbished health facilities inspire ante-natal care uptake","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"in-northeast-nigeria-refurbished-health-facilities-inspire-ante-natal-care-uptake","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-07 19:18:32","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-07 19:18:32","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=414","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":488},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};
