A coalition of over 60 civil society organisations converged last Thursday, to address some of the crucial aspects of the seemingly moribund Police Trust Fund Act which had been inoperative since its passage in 2017.
In a media parley organised by the Human Rights Law Service (HURILAWS) and Network on Police Reforms of Nigeria (NOPRIN), the Coalition queried the challenges in the implementation of the Police Trust Fund Act and some of its provisions which need urgent review.
Presentations on the fundamental provisions of the Act were made by the Programs Manager of HURILAWS, Mr Collins Okeke, National Coordinator of NOPRIN, Mr. Ikule Emmanuel, and former Managing Director of Lagos State Security Trust Fund.
