\"In addition, the Force is constituting an Investigation Team which shall include Civil Society Organizations and Human Rights Bodies to work with the Police in investigating alleged cases of human rights violations. The measure, the IGP believes, will enhance transparency and accountability in police services as well as providing a system of deterrence for erring police officers whose action clearly violates the rights of the citizenry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The IGP appreciates and commends all citizens particularly those who genuinely express their concerns for a better policing orientation in an organized, patriotic and civil manner. He reaffirms the determination of the Force to bequeath to the country a Police Force and System that is professional in service delivery and most importantly, accountable to the people. \"<\/p>\n","post_title":"Finally IG of Police dissolves SARS","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"finally-ig-of-police-dissolves-sars","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-11 13:24:49","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-11 13:24:49","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=514","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"next":false,"prev":true,"total_page":580},"paged":1,"column_class":"jeg_col_2o3","class":"epic_block_3"};

Plans have been on to recapitalise the Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) with 2021 as the target year for additional funds to be injected into the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The injection of additional capital into the DBN will boost its capacity to fund more Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next year, the government will release a grant of \u20a610 billion \u201cto BoI to support low-interest lending to SMEs\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next year, the government will release a grant of \u20a610 billion \u201cto BoI to support low-interest lending to SMEs\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from DBN, other Development Finance Institutions in Nigeria include the Bank of Agriculture (BOA); Bank of Industry (BoI); Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN); Nigeria Export-Import Bank (NEXIM) and The Infrastructure Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under Service Wide Vote in 2021, N25 billion has been earmarked for special intervention; \u20a65 billion to settle MDAs electricity bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N17,899,000,000 will be refunded into the special account, and another \u20a616,703,390,000 will be returned to the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) while \u20a620 billion will be spent on special intervention programmes and projects next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u20a615,000,000,000 will spent on subscription to shares in international organizations and NI billion on the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The execitive also plan to spend another \u20a65billion \u201cfor outsourced services\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Presidential Amnesty Programme and the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) have been plagued with allegations of corruption in recent time.
Also, Federal Government has budgeted N15 billion for the settlement of local contractors in the 2021 budget.

Though the budget did not specify if the N15 billion is for all the DFIs or just one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plans have been on to recapitalise the Development Bank of Nigeria (DBN) with 2021 as the target year for additional funds to be injected into the bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The injection of additional capital into the DBN will boost its capacity to fund more Micro Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next year, the government will release a grant of \u20a610 billion \u201cto BoI to support low-interest lending to SMEs\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from DBN, other Development Finance Institutions in Nigeria include the Bank of Agriculture (BOA); Bank of Industry (BoI); Federal Mortgage Bank of Nigeria (FMBN); Nigeria Export-Import Bank (NEXIM) and The Infrastructure Bank.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Under Service Wide Vote in 2021, N25 billion has been earmarked for special intervention; \u20a65 billion to settle MDAs electricity bills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

N17,899,000,000 will be refunded into the special account, and another \u20a616,703,390,000 will be returned to the Asset Management Company of Nigeria (AMCON) while \u20a620 billion will be spent on special intervention programmes and projects next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u20a615,000,000,000 will spent on subscription to shares in international organizations and NI billion on the Presidential Enabling Business Environment Council (PEBEC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila has commended President Muhammadu Buhari for scraping the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gbajabiamila said in a statement by his spokesman, Lanre Lasisi, that the dissolution of SARS was a necessary response by the government to the outcry arising from multiple documented excesses of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gbajabiamila also commended Nigerians who saw a wrong and sought to make it right, who saw injustice and acted to put an end to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The House had on Wednesday rose against brutality of SARS officers, passing some vital resolutions on the matter and demanded the IGP to take decisive action against the brutality and human rights violation by SARS officers and report the said action to the Green Chamber within three weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The dissolution of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS), and the broader, ongoing reforms of the police that will follow, are a testament to the passion and resilience of a generation of Nigerians who determined not to accept or tolerate injustice in whatever form it takes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Speaker called on the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Mohammed Abubakar Adamu to take practical steps to support and enforce this policy pronouncement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said: \"These steps are necessary to assure the Nigerian people that the announced dissolution of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) is sincere and well-intentioned, and not merely meant to quell the ongoing protests across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) must also act to identify and punish those operatives of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) involved in the most severe cases of abuse of rights, brutality and murder of Nigerian citizens.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gbajabiamila noted with displeasure the police's manhandling of the some protesters, who came out in numbers to protest peacefully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Speaker assured all Nigerians that the dissolution of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) will not preclude the ongoing efforts by the House of Representatives to effect reforms of the police through legislation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With regards to reforming the police, the House resolved to take immediate steps to amend existing laws and the the 1999 Constitution to excise Section 215 (5) and replace it with provisions that ensure judicial review of police actions are enshrined and protected by the constitution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, the House resolved to establish a framework for holding individual members of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) accountable for their conduct in the course of performing their lawful duties, including criminal and civil liabilities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was equally resolved that the Nigeria Police Force would be allowed to bear civil liability for failures in their conduct and operational procedures that lead to violations of citizens' rights.<\/p>\n","post_title":"Gbajabiamila commends Buhari, IGP for dissolving SARS","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","post_password":"","post_name":"gbajabiamila-commends-buhari-igp-for-dissolving-sars","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2020-10-11 19:01:45","post_modified_gmt":"2020-10-11 19:01:45","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/newsspecng.com\/?p=527","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":524,"post_author":"12","post_date":"2020-10-11 17:11:29","post_date_gmt":"2020-10-11 17:11:29","post_content":"\n
