In line with the requirements of the Armed Forces Act, all would-be policemen must now pass a psychiatric evaluation before they can be hired.

Aside from military personnel, other government employees will also be subjected to mock tests.

On the first anniversary of the protests against the excessive use of force by law enforcers, some of the protesters attacked the SARS.

The protest led to the destruction of over N300 billion worth of properties.

He said the government had also planned to reform the police and other security agencies.

He said that out of the 28 states that set up panels to investigate the protests, their reports were only limited to the National Executive Council.

The minister said the reforms were carried out to enhance the efficiency of the agency. He noted that the new laws would also require the use of cutting-edge technology in fighting crime.

In order to ensure that arms-bearing security personnel are psychologically fit to carry out their duties, the agencies should periodically drug test and psychiatric evaluation the individuals they recruit.

Other reforms include the recruitment and testing of arms-carrying security personnel. This process involves conducting psychiatric evaluation and drug tests to ensure that they are psychologically fit to carry out their duties.

The Council also commended the efforts of the Police Service Commission and other security agencies in strengthening police accountability. It advocated the review of police officers' pension and gratuity and the attainment of parity of pay among police officers with their sister agencies.

The Nigeria Police Force has directed its officers to be trained on how to implement the provisions of the Police Act 2020 and other related laws and regulations.

All those detained by the police following the EndSARS protests are processed according to the principles of fair hearing.

The states should support and utilize the Federal Government's Community policing programme in their areas. They should also involve traditional rulers and other elders in the program's operations.

Establishing standing committees to address human rights violations is one of the measures the government has taken to prevent them from happening again in the future.

The disbandment of the SARS; the establishment of judicial panels to investigate allegations of Human Rights violations made by the police; and the compensation of victims.

Some of the states that submitted reports on the alleged killings at the Lekki Toll Gate have indicted those connected to the incident.

He said the families of the victims were devastated by the deaths of their loved ones.

Out of the 28 States, the report of 11 States has already been forwarded to the National Executive Council. The other states, including Rivers, Abia, Ogun, and Kwara, are yet to submit their reports.

Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, has said that the transformation of society depends on the actions and decisions of public office holders.

Getting involved in politics is an essential part of becoming a part of a civil society. However, government still has the capacity to provide more social goods.

Being a decider instead of a pressure group at the table can be very different from being a politician. As a result, the strategies and ideas that we put forward in transforming our societies will depend on who we refer to as the politicians.

We cannot afford to have individuals who are not committed to making a difference in the world. To be successful, individuals must get involved in politics.

Many people will not be involved in politics, but those that are inclined should get involved.
