In a recent
independent study conducted by the Justice for All Programme (J4A), concluded
that the Nigeria Police Force satisfaction rate was comparatively high. A
departure from previous low ratings.
- The justice for All Programme (J4A)
Nigeria funded the establishment of the first Sexual Assault Referral
Centre (SARC) in Lagos State in 2013. The following year a second centre
was set up in Enugu State to provide medical counselling and legal support
for victims of sexual violence.
- The two centres operate feedback systems
to better understand the needs of their clients and how they view
experience at the SARC. The results are testimonies to the changes
occurring in Police Stations where the J4A programme has worked and to the
Police officers elsewhere, trained by the programme.
- The Justice for all (J4A) ratings of the
Nigeria Police Force is stated below.

The feedback on the
engagement with the SARC counsellors was even more positive as illustrated by
the table below.
Aspect of

Proportion that rated

Communication skills

- The Inspector General of Police, Ag IGP
Ibrahim K. Idris and his management Team appreciated this rating which is
a clear testimony of his determination to turn around the Nigeria Police
Force for more efficient service delivery by ensuring that the Force carried
out its statutory duties based on international core values of Policing
with integrity for a safer Nigeria.
- The IGP assured the Justice for All (J4A)
that the Nigeria Police Force under his leadership will continue to
partner with the organisation in all areas its engagements in Nigeria to
further strengthen the existing cordial relationship between the
organisation and the Force.
