Police to enrol in employees compensation scheme, says IG
Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Egbetokun has said men and officers of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) will be enrolled on the Employees Compensation Scheme (ECS) to provide additional social benefits to the force.
Egbetokun announced this when the Managing Director of the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF), Oluwaseun Faleye, led the executive and senior management of the agency on an advocacy visit to Force Headquarters (FHQ) at the weekend in Abuja.
The IGP, who praised Faleye for the “radical changes” he has brought to the NSITF since assumption of duties, said the Force will actively partner the NSITF to also ensure compliance with the ECS among the public and private sector employers.
In a statement yesterday by NSITF’s General Manager for Corporate Affairs, Nwachukwu Godson, the IGP said: “I listened to you and want to assure you that I have taken note of everything you said, all the issues you raised. From now on, we are going to work together to make sure that the Nigerian Police Force becomes active partners with the NSITF. We are going to contribute to the scheme. We will do everything possible. Whatever that is stopping the NPF from contributing to the NSITF, we have to look into it and make sure that it works this time round.
“Then, with respect to your enforcement drive, please count on us that we will support you all the way. I have been monitoring your activities since you came in as the MD of the NSITF and I know that you have brought radical changes to the fund.
“So, I congratulate you for the good job you are doing at NSITF. I want to assure that the Nigerian Police Force will partner with you.”
Faleye faulted the absence of compliance by the police on the ECS but expressed optimism that the intervention of the IGP would turn a new page in the partnership between the NSITF and the NPF.
The NSITF boss hailed the NPF for the sacrifices its officers make to secure the nation.
He said: “We are here to show our appreciation first and foremost as Nigerians for the efforts of the leadership of the NPF in securing the nation.
“Secondly, were are here to engage with the leadership of the NPF on the core mandate of the NSITF: to see how to collaborate and extend the numerous benefits of our social insurance cover to the rank and file of the police in line with our mandate.
