Gen.

Earlier, while presenting the report, Chairman of the Committee, Prof. Femi Odekunle, disclosed that the Committee was commissioned by the defunct Ministry of Police Affairs to come up with a National Policy on Public Safety and Security.

He noted however that, as the ministry in charge of public safety and security, the Ministry of Interior was well-positioned to implement the report.
