“At today’s NEC, Osinbajo, asked governors, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Finance Minister and the Inspector-General of Police (IGP) to work out modalities on how the funds would be well utilised to ensure an effective implementation of Community Policing in Nigeria, and then report back to NEC.

“Specifically, the governors will be represented at this consultations by the Nigeria Governors’ forum Chairman and two others.

“There is no relenting in effort to secure lives and property across Nigeria,” he said.
