Kwara State Governor and Chairman of the Nigeria Governors' Forum (NGF), Mallam AbdulRahman AbdulRazaq, has hosted an extraordinary consultative meeting of the Conference of Speakers of State Legislatures of Nigeria. Convened at the NGF Secretariat in Abuja, the high-level legislative summit focused on aligning subnational support for the proposed State Police Bill, currently undergoing active constitutional review across the 36 State Houses of Assembly.
Establishing decentralized state police forces requires broad constitutional consensus, with at least two-thirds of Nigeria's 36 State Assemblies needing to approve the amendment. Coordinating state governors and legislative speakers early in the process ensures that subnational governments can address funding mechanisms, operational jurisdictions, and civil rights protections before voting begins, clearing the path for systematic security reforms.
This executive-legislative coordination highlights a highly strategic, intergovernmental approach to national security tracking and constitutional diplomacy. By using the NGF platform to build consensus, Governor AbdulRazaq reduces political friction and ensures that state-level policing models are designed with clear accountability frameworks.
