Nigeria Police Reform - Is the engagement strategy inclusive enough?
|
|
My confidence in Nigeria Police Force was coagulated when I read the Acting IGP Mohammed Abubakar speech to his senior officers "The Nigeria police force has fallen to its lowest level ... police duties have become commercialised and provided at the whims and caprices of the highest bidder". My hope is that the ongoing Police Reform will complement the current effort of the new IGP and provide a platform for a meaningful reform that addresses not only the infrastructural defect but review strategically the revamping of the human asset beyond mere training to include its social/moral contract with the Nigerian people and interaction with Nigerians in the Diaspora.
The reform panel set up by the Federal Government to harmonise the recommendations of past panels has started its work. The panel chaired by the Police Service Commission Chairman, Parry Osayande, is expected to come up with recommendations that would make the police better and the new IGP approach on security is encouraging.
However, it would be interesting to observe if the engagement strategy of the new panel will go beyond the general public hearing and presentation of papers to innovative modern consultation tools like usage of the internet since majority of Nigeria youths both home and abroad use the internet/social network forum in their daily engagement.
I am personally interested in Nigeria’s youth and diaspora contribution to the reform because the next generation’s perception of Nigeria Police Force is essential. Having experienced how my involvement in British Police as a volunteer changed my perception; I believe the adoption of some basic but fundamental changes will have a positive impact.
Therefore, I want a Nigeria Police Force that:
- Provides a practical community policing with community leaders contributing to how resources are use for local policing
- Adopt new innovate ways to recruit and attract talents into Nigeria Police Force including experience Nigeria Diaspora
- Introduce a meaningful social contract that engages ordinary Nigerians to know their rights within the law and for Nigeria Police to know their legal boundary.
This panel must prove that it listens....

One way to improve your sleep apnea is to shed excess weight that you are carrying. Being overweight or obese places pressure on your neck, which can compress your windpipe as you sleep. Losing just 25 pounds can make a difference in your symptoms, and losing enough weight can eliminate the disorder altogether.
Adjust your CPAP machine. Most machines come with default settings that might not correspond to your needs. You should be able to regulate the airflow: try different settings and choose one that seems to work for you. If you feel like your machine is not working like it should, try changing the settings again.
On easy way to help limit your sleep apnea is to stick to regular sleeping hours. When you stick to a sleep schedule that is steady and consistent, you will be more relaxed and sleep much better. Apnea episode frequency will be greatly reduced if you can get plenty of sleep every night.
Sleep apnea can benefit from a good diet that results in your losing weight. Normally people are quite surprised to learn that unhealthy eating is a major source of their sleep apnea. It's been proven that poor diets can contribute to the severity of sleep apnea.
Try your best to maintain a regular sleeping schedule. When your body gets into a customary sleeping cycle, you will find yourself getting a better night's sleep, and you will also be more relaxed. Several studies have shown that apnea episodes decrease when a person is not sleep deprived or stressed out.
Remember to keep your medical ID upon your person if you make use of a CPAP for your sleep apnea. If you are in need of medical attention, it is important that the people helping you realize you have sleep apnea and use CPAP therapy. With your ID you can inform medical personnel about your sleep apnea and your CPAP device.
You can reduce sleep apnea with exercises to strengthen throat muscles. Sleep apnea is often caused by the tissues in the throat, which can relax and collapse while you sleep. When your muscles strengthen, their chances of collapse and airway blockage go down.
If simple changes in your lifestyle, such as regular sleep hours and losing weight, have not eliminated your sleep apnea episodes, it is time to consult with a sleep specialist. The specific causes of your sleep apnea can be evaluated, and an individual treatment plan can be designed for you.
Life after your CPAP diagnosis may seem overwhelming at first. However, there is a lot of help to be found if you look for it. This article has shared just a few easy ideas for dealing with your sleep condition. Start applying these today, and you will feel more in control of your life in no time.
