Read in the dailies the comment of Mr. Michael Askew, the retired superintendent in UK Metropolitan police and Company Director Pointman Leadership Institute based in the UK that corruption in Nigeria Police Force is due to underfunding by government.
Askew said this while answering questions from newsmen at a workshop on “Creating Inspirational, Trustworthy Leaders,” in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State last week. He went further to say that it was illogical for the police to give their utmost if funds are withheld from them.
“Inadequate funding can hamper police efforts in Nigeria. If they do not have necessary tools to work; you are now providing room for what will aid corruption in the sector’’
