The President of the Senate, Ahmad Lawan says the National Assembly is planning a separate budget for adequate funding of the 36 commands of Nigeria Police.
Lawan said the move was to enable officers and men of the police force perform optimally and tackle insecurity in the country.
He said this when the Inspector General of Police, Muhammad Adamu, led the police management team to pay him courtesy visit in his office.
Lawan assured the IGP on the early passage of the Police Reform Bill, Police Academy Bill and smooth implementation of the Police Trust Fund.
He further assured that the passage of the pending bills would be fast-tracked as soon as possible.
The IGP in his earlier remark had requested the support of the Senate for better funding of the Police.
Adamu equally requested for the quick passage of the Police Reform Bill and the Police Academy Bill to enhance efficiency of the Force.
