As the Federal Government is set to approve a new uniform for the Nigerian Police, worried analysts and concerned Nigerians have condemned the move. Entertainment Express spoke with a wide range of entertainers who also criticized and questioned the rationale behind the change of uniform. They argued that the new uniform is a colossal waste of resources, which the nation does not need now.

Here is my own advice to the IG: Repair your police training colleges. You can also bring in Americans, Brits and some Europeans to build you a standard academy, complete with lecture halls, dorms, obstacle course, driving range, shooting range and a mechanics workshop for weapons training. When this is built up and there should be several of them littered around the six geo-political zones, hire Lawyers, ex-police officers from home and abroad to teach your officers first and foremost. It’s sad that officers do not even know the law. Also, the ex-police lecturers would also provide weapons and tactical training. After every officer must have passed a physical and written examination to be conducted and supervised by the judiciary if possible, then they are issued the new Nigerian uniform complete with a big Bronze/Silver/Gold Nigerian Police Badge, a 9mm pistol (not big AK-47’s), a Baton, a walkie talkie, two sets of handcuffs, pepper spray and a notepad.
