The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, on Thursday, underscored the necessity of transitioning the NPF away from the envelope budgetary system to facilitate more precise funding forecasts.
Egbetokun made this known while presenting the 2025 budget for the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) before the Joint Committees on Police Affairs and Police Institutions at the National Assembly Complex in Abuja.
The Police Boss articulated that this change would provide enhanced flexibility and ensure the availability of resources for more effective management of the Force.
He, further, advocated for the establishment and approval of a Special Operations Account specifically for national security emergencies, as well as an increase in funding for Overhead and Capital Expenditure.
