The Senate has indeed passed a bill to establish the Nigeria Police University of Science and Technology in Erinja, Yewa, Ogun State.
This development aims to enhance law enforcement capabilities by providing specialized education in science, technology, and security research.
Recall, the House of Representatives has passed a Bill seeking to establish training institutions for the Nigeria Police Force.
The proposed law titled: “A Bill for an Act to Provide the legal framework for the establishment of training institutions of the Nigeria Police Force and for Related Matters and sponsored by Julius Ihonvbere, leader of the House was read for a third time during plenary on Wednesday.
The Bill provides legal backing for at least 18 Police training institutions established through administrative directives.
Lawmakers argued that the proposed legislation would improve the operations of the institutions and ultimately enhance the capacity of police personnel for better results.
They further noted that the institutions, once backed by law, would serve as high-level centres for professional training and related activities, while also boosting the morale of police officers.
