President Muhammadu Buhari has said that efforts are being made to address the rogue elements of the Nigerian Police Force. The president said this in a meeting at the presidential villa with a delegation of the National Council of Traditional Rulers of Nigeria.

Speaking to the traditional rulers, the president Buhari said “We have heard the loud cries of our youth and children, and we are attending to their concerns. “To succeed in all of this, we would require your support and voice to help amplify the message. Your proximity to the people places you in a unique position to communicate and ensure that our response is targeted and impactful.

“I want to once again thank you for the role you all have played to calm down our youth with wisdom and authority. By instilling hope and keeping the peace, you have rendered the country great service.

“We cannot allow anybody or group to threaten the peace or sabotage these efforts. Strong, transparent efforts are underway to address those rogue elements of the Nigerian Police Force.

“Simultaneously, the Nigerian Police Force will also undergo much needed reform that covers welfare, working conditions, and code of conduct. That will usher in a more professional workforce.”

Admitting the challenges facing the nation, he further stated “There is no hiding place regarding how we should address insecurity concerns, youth unemployment, job creation, boosting industrialization and preparing for a transition into a digital economy.”
