The managements of defaulting banks (DMBs), who were in charge of the delay in payment of 2023 election duty allowances to Police personnel, were met with by the Inspector IGP Usman Alkali Baba on Monday, March 6, 2023, prior to the Governorship and State’s Houses of Assembly elections on Saturday, March 11, 2023.
The IGP’s desire to address the alleged delay or nonpayment of the police personnel election allowances, according to a statement by the force’s public relations officer, CSP Muyiwa Adejobi, drove the meeting.
He said that the Police Accounts and Budgets Department’s information/evidence indicated that the banks had been credited because payment schedules had been cancelled with the banks even before the February 25 elections.
“So, we urge the affected officers to remain calm as every penny accrued to them will be paid”.
“Even the commencent for the payment of the second tranche for the guber elections will be paid as from t
Tuesday 7th February 2023″, he added.
Recall that police personnel in some states have complained about non payment/delayed payment of their election allowances and threatened to boycott security duties in Saturday’s governorship and State’s Houses of Assembly election.
