The Chairman of the Nigeria Governors’ Forum Committee on State Police Creation led an executive brief on the Arise TV Town Hall Meeting, expressing absolute administrative confidence that all 36 State Houses of Assembly will simultaneously ratify the constitutional amendment bill to establish sub-national policing. The committee commended President Bola Ahmed Tinubu for formally transmitting the historic Executive Bill to the National Assembly, following months of extensive consultations and inter-governmental technical sessions designed to restructure the nation's internal security architecture.
The coordinated legislative push seeks to establish a highly professional, decentralized law enforcement model tailored to correct the country's severely low police-to-citizen ratio. By drafting a unified sub-national framework backed by independent institutional oversight and strict accountability checks, the committee aims to minimize potential political abuses by state executives. For state ministries of internal security, this constitutional shift provides the legal power to deploy properly equipped, community-based personnel to protect local trade corridors and secure farming communities from banditry.
This unified sub-national consensus marks a significant milestone in cooperative federalism, constitutional reform, and strategic risk management across Nigeria. By aligning federal executive bills with state legislative agendas, the governors demonstrate high institutional capacity to co-engineer structural solutions to national crises. Over the long term, formalizing state policing operations under strict constitutional safeguards improves public administration efficiency, reduces duplication in security funding, and builds a stable, predictable environment for economic growth.
