The estimated 350,000 serving police officers across states of the
federation and Abuja, the federal capital territory, are about now putting
finishing touches to the completion and submission of their e-statement
registration forms.
This follows
the directive from the central bank of Nigeria, through the office of the
inspector-general of police, urging police officers to complete and submit these
forms in order that their monthly salaries could be paid directly into their
various accounts instead of passing through the police hierarchy.
It could be recalled that in the past, all issues dealing
with salaries and emoluments for police officers nationwide were handled by the
mechanized salaries structures offices of the Nigeria police force.
Therefore, with the new order of e-salaries payments, the old structures
are likely to collapse, since every serving officer will henceforth be collecting
his salaries and other emoluments through the CBN.
Our correspondent, who visited the Lagos state police command headquarters
on Thursday, for instance, observed that officers were busy filling and
submitting their forms, even as it was gathered that the dateline for the
submission of the forms, which was earlier fixed for this Friday could be extended.
