The Senate Passes the Police Act (Repeal & Re-enactment) Bill, 2020 (SB. 181) - PLAC


I'm super excited to have been part of the advocacy to amend the then 75 years old Police Act.
"BREAKING NEWS: On 7th July 2020, @NGRSenate passed the Police Act (Repeal & Re-enactment) Bill, 2020 (SB. 181). With the @HouseNGR passing the bill on 2nd June 2020, this makes history as the first time ever both chambers of @nassnigeria have successfully amended the Police Act of 1943" - PLAC
The Bill aimed at making the Nigeria Police more professional, responsive, citizen friendly, gender responsive and respect human rights, among others. It also pushed for a 4-year tenured position for the Inspector General of Police (who is usually hired and fired at will). I can't wait to see what was reflected and what wasn't 🤗

First published March 25 2020.  Behind every disappointment is a blessing.... Have we been too busy to take care of our spiritual, mental or physical health? To connect with our friends, know our children, their needs or talents? Too busy to care? Too busy for family, love, romance, sex, friendships, relationships or simply knowing our neighbours? Too busy to have fun or take on that personal project we've been putting off for  years? Now may be the best time to stop and reflect on our lifestyle. The world is at a standstill. It happens once in a lifetime. Many of us are less busy, uncertain. Businesses are closing for a while - we don't know for how long. The kids are home...
