THE NIGERIAPOLICE FORCE ACT2020 ANALYSIS

The Nigeria Police Force (Establishment) Act, 2020 (‘the new Act’) which came into force on the 17th of September 2020, repealed the Police Act of 2004. The general objective of the new Act is to provide for an effective and well organised police service, driven by the principles of transparency and accountability in its operations and management of its resources, protection of human rights, and partnership with other security agencies.

Among others, the Act establishes an appropriate funding framework for the Police in line with what is obtainable in other Federal Government key institutions, enhances professionalism in the Police Force through increased training opportunities, and creates enduring cooperation and partnership between the Police Force and communities in maintaining peace and combating crimes nationwide.

A PLAN FOR ACTION

FOREWARD
When the Executive Director of the Nigeria Network of NGOs approached us to lead the conversation and consultations on the imperative of National Dialogues for Unity, Security and Development, we saw it as a national assignment and the opportunity for us to contribute our quota to as civil society leaders and elders to address the myriads of challenges facing our country around the focal themes of national security, national unity, youth and women development and civil society government partnership.

We are more than happy that citizens have shared their precious time, insight, wisdom, expertise with us. Participants are part of a pool of different stakeholder groups from traditional leadership, security and full spectrum of civil society. The come from opposition parties, ruling parry, politics, business, academia, communities, traditional rulers, state assemblies, nonprofits, associations and 6 states of the South-West with very diverse background and outreach. They are living proof that citizens are willing to engage if the mechanisms are there.

From their insights and experience, we have worked with the Nigeria Network of NGOs to develop this report and an agenda for action for Mr. President. For us as elder statewomen and men with a combination of over 70 years as civil society actors, the consultations and dialogues were an exciting experience. Travelling across the 6 South-West States by road provided us with another view of the region, its unique diversity, people, progress and challenges.

NRA Analysis

The National Risk Assessment Report is a country level assessment to identify, understand and assess the risk of money laundering and terrorist financing in a country. Nigeria conducted its first Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing (ML/TF) Risk Assessment in 2015 and a Published Report in 2016 which covered the NPOs and other Designated Non-Financial Institutions (DNFIs), the overall vulnerability of nonprofits was rated high as a result of ineffective regulations and inability to trace transaction records.

The assessment was in response to recommendation 1 of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) 40 recommendations which, requires all countries to identify, assess and understand the money laundering and terrorist financing risks elements prevalent in their jurisdictions for the development of efficient measures to combat the crime and efficient allocation of scarce resources.

The World Bank National Risk Assessment tool was adopted in the conduct of the exercise. The tool was considered most appropriate for Nigeria due to the nature, size and complexities of the country’s political structure, financial sector and economy. The model defines Money Laundering risk as a combination of national threat and national vulnerability.

Measuring Society’s Progress on the SDGs (citizens report)

Nigeria faces a huge development challenge of epidemic proportions. With 87 million people in poverty, 13.2 million boys and girls out of school and lacking quality education, the widening gap between the rich and poor along with 4.1 million Nigerians occupying the middle class, the complexity of sustainable development problems faced by majority of Nigerians have become a priority that needs urgent forms of action enabled by new systems and models.

An era of a new global developmental framework is coming at a pivotal time in Nigeria’s quest to address its growing challenges. Three years ago, Member States of the United Nations including Nigeria adopted ‘Transforming our world: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development (UN 2030 Agenda)’, an integrated framework of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) spanning economic, environmental and social development. By achieving this Agenda, no Nigerian will be left behind.

While we are witnessing a growing momentum and signs of coalescence around the SDGs across Ministries and Agencies of Government, backing progress made so far with citizens driven evidence is at best weak: the aggregate impact of the SDGs at the national level does not focus on citizens’ priorities but input and remains largely underreported, mostly due to missing data and weak accountability systems.

SDGS MANIFESTO INDEX

The time for a SDGs based Manifesto is now. Reviewing promises, priorities, and strategies of the three major Presidential candidates in the 2023 elections through the lens of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is necessary for focusing attention on the goals.

The Nigeria Network of NGOs view the first publication of the SDGs Manifesto Index as a baseline. The goal of the Index is to objectively assess the SDG’s relevance of the Manifestos presented by Presidential candidates of the All Progressive Congress (APC), Labour Party (LP) and Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). This publication marks a significant milestone in the journey of tracking SDG’s implementation by the new administration that will be ushered in by the 2023 general elections using each prospective candidate’s manifestos as an entry point.

The Index helps to better understand how Candidate’s plans and promises relates to the SDG framework.
