FG And State Governors Agreed To Creat State Police To Combat Insecurity.

Nigeria’s Federal Government and the 36 states of the Federation have agreed on the need to create state police as a means of beefing up security across the country.

This was the highlight of the meeting held on Thursday between President Bola Tinubu and the 36 State governors at the State House, Abuja.

Briefing newsmen on the outcome of the meeting, Information and National Orientation Minister, Idris Mohammed, said

security improvements nationwide were acknowledged, with a focus on enhancing forest rangers’ numerical strength and exploring the possibility of State Police.

He said further discussion will be held on the issue between government at the centre and the states before sending a bill to that effect to the National Assembly for necessary constitutional amendment.

On food crisis, the Minister, who spoke in the company of Governors of Plateau, Kaduna and Delta states, disclosed that the National Security Adviser, Director General of State Services, and Inspector General of Police have been directed to collaborate with state governors in addressing hoarding concerns, particularly in the wake of soaring commodity prices.

The meeting, Mohammed further said, also emphasized the need for enhanced investments in agriculture to combat food shortages, declaring a halt to food importation to broaden Nigeria’s self-sufficiency and potential as a net exporter.

I must this state police why any means necessary and destroy enemies of my state, wetin no happen inside my state no concern me.

okay

As good as this sounds, the recruitment procedure must be given due diligence, state police must not be treated the same way some states have been treating state vigilante agencies where cultists loyal to the ruling party are the personnel or workforce , protecting the people and properties should be the central theme across board, not cult-wars .

Hope there won't be any conflict of interest

Smile.

Another measure for insecurity, best option death sentence to all bandits and kidnappers.

China law is needed in Nigeria.

Including sponsors.

This is the way to go. I like the way the Federal government is able to bring the state governments together to deliberate and agree on this particular security architect of state and federal police.

Political opponents should be preparing for extinction

That's a positive development that if taken seriously would checkmate all this insecurity.

Audio agreement

rigging/armed robbery/assasination machines about to be created


thie-fnubu will finish nigeria,....

so tell me, what will state police do differently from fed police...

tinubu is just about to cement his hold on nigeria for the next 50 years.....alas he will meet God for his judgement

Lol. Dey play.

That will not solve nada. It’ll only make state governments and officials siphon more funds.

You’ve not yet paid existing workers minimum wage

Welcome development

Okay o, but hope they will function effectively not another set of extortioners.

My advice to ALL Nairalander: STOCK UP

We are looking at $1 = 1800

Depending on how USD is allocated to Oil Marketers at 1460 is another subsidies of forex prone to another round of abuse.

At 1500 PMS = 1350 per litre
-Hyper-inflation,
-Social unrest;
-Increase Multiple-demensional poverty;
- Unemployment
-Divestment

Bleepp

So how will the recruitment goo

State by state or what?

I prefer neighborhood watch with automatic rifles

Tribal and political oppression will begin in states

they want to form another yeye vigilante group for embezzlement

The question is when. This particular govt has been on a white elephant project since from palliative to student loans to minimum wage increase among others

Oh finally it took alot of shouting to making it happen. We allow things to get really bad before our government can take the right step required to put things in order

WELL SAID

Long overdue

Good move.

So a state like Benue will have its own police force and can police their borders from marauding bandits, also Plateau State.

That's the issue now.
I don't know when Africans would come of age. Politicians which could use to do their biddings can control the police to harass or silence opposition.

They simply "agreed on need for state police" not agreement for immediate implementation.

They seem to love Bills and ing laws and bills for 3rd reading while seating in air conditioned offices while people continue to die.

Full implementation can reach 10 yrs. And even then it will still be ineffective.

Nigeria smh

Will they be given proper orientation or another set of trigger happy people in the name of police
