Good one from them. Besides it’s restructuring Nigerians want

What we need is regional police not state

most states are too weak financially to run their own police

but states of the same region pulling resources together to create a force will be more viable and strong

otherwise what you wil have is governor's tool, and in the North low key boko haram aka Hisbah

I like Tinubu. He is implementing everything analysts have been crying about for decades.

Fake Rolex poor boy how body ?

Best Bill in the history of Nigeria 🇳🇬

I have said it before that the federal govt is useless to Nigerians. Collects a lot of money while the state which is closer to the people have little or nothing to work. Completely decentralize Nigeria and see Nigeria work. Infact, make regions run their own league and invite other states to partiate, there will be mad competition and Nigerians will enjoy.

our governors should not misuse this

Na my fears be that, oppositions go suffer enhh

TimeManager:
History will be kind to Tinubu, he'd be ed as the best president yet Nigeria has had. Restructuring is taking a gradual shape, g into law the bill for states to general their own electricity and more to come with the constitutional review we're getting there.

-kiss the the truth

kiss d truth kill u there.. otele

I can bet you, this is the worst decision ever. how is state INEC. The politicians are scared that if there is an uprising the current number of Police we have can not control the crowd. It is only for selfish reasons. For sure this will be abused grossly

post=128553971:

You are right from the perspective you are coming from also Mytime,
We believed that Our politicians are not civilised enough and tolerant of opposing views and cannot preside over a competent and impartial police force
Cos we ed,
When in 2018 there was a summit to consider the establishment of State Police, there was a counter argument by the late Abubakar Tsav, a retired police commissioner, that the establishment of state police will signal the beginning of the disintegration of the country, as governors would use the institution “against their perceived political opponents.”
State and federal police commands are also likely to work at cross-purpose.

Our additional reasons of concern are that we have very serious ethnic and religious divides in the country at this time and many governors believe that if they have their own police, they can deal with the other.
For example, the pastoralists and farmers conflicts have been intensifying in many states and some governors have clear proclivities of seeking to expel or protect pastoralists in their states, opening the doors to a new dimension of identity conflicts that would deepen the crisis facing the Nigerian state today.

All said and done,
It will bring more good than bad.

A better Nigeria 🇳🇬 all around is all we want at MANNABBQGRlLLS.
We Rise ✔️

It maybe that APC is destined to destroy Nigeria. I understand that most of their policies ain't working rushing to create state police as a quick victory is nothing short of disaster.

In as much as this is needed but I don't think this is the right time for such.

That's good.

Things Buhari should have done but refused and allowed many lives to be wasted . He will give to God at the right time

All these fulaNi s now, will be shitting on their pants, More legal ways to exterminate those islamic vermins.

Good one.
Anyway

Astra101:
State politicos will equally highjack this one and turn it to thugs

You are right.

Things might be hard right now. But surely we will get there.

The Igbos and the south south people Tinubu is fighting for are his greatest critics......Wisdom is not cheap.

When Tinubu finally liberate all the south from the shackles of the north it will be clear to them that they have been foolish criticizing him all this while.

It's necessary to have a state police,Let's see how it goes.

Very necessary

easy to create but salary how far

SoNature:
The next should be a bill to close down the house of reps. It's totally needless. Whatever the house of reps does, the senate should do it. Nigeria should cut down the cost of governance.

Follow by the bill to make legislation a part time job,the country is broke we can't afford to keep dashing money to a few group of people who bring nothing to the table .

reiddecuti:
We need to embrace our fear and deliberately implement polices that will help make this country workable.

You are a realist sir/ma

I pray this bill will not be sabotaged again.

Imagine what Sim will do to Wike with State Police 😁😁

Btruth:
Oya now.......follow by states own electricity generations and others. State should control the resources too.

Let's go abeg.

This has already been sorted. The licenses of current discos have expired and they have to renew it. The whole thing is just complicated now because Gencos and Discos owe banks billions of naira.

I think the best bet is for the state governments to issue licenses to companies that have the capacity to generate, transmit and distribute power district by district in every state using the natural resource of the state.

handsomeyinka:

It will work in the South.


I don't think it will work in the North. The major security problem of this country is the North.

Establishing state policing without ensuring it's independence or not taking away the control of the state governor on the police will only lead to more complications and possibly more problems than solution!

I just hope we getting it right

Politicians are going to exploit move.

States would now have demigods!



But to great extent, the FG wil be relieved of security issues. People will have to face their respective governors

TruthsFM:
Good one from them. Besides it’s restructuring Nigerians want

Restructuring is entering through the back gate little by little. Even the North will eventually see the benefit of restructuring as they are the most challenged security wise in Nigeria. They will benefit most

It is actually the senate that should be closed...the house of rep is closer to the people than the senate

They won't even agree to dissolve the House of Reps. Those who serve in public service (politicians and civil servants) are just there to steal from the country. No love for country whatsoever.

Does the state government currently do much for you in of roads, education, healthcare, environment? They are probably more irresponsible than the FG, but you think they can manage electricity and police? Not to talk of the mayhem that could be unleashed during elections? i hope we wont create a bigger problem. At least the Federal Police is always paid. Wait till a State police who hold guns are not paid, and i hope we wont regret this. Most states IGR cant even pay the salaries of the state civil service.

For me to state police, there need to be very stringent rules in place. For me I would say that a for a state to be allowed to have state police, its IGR must be able to cover its salaries, pensions, wages and overheads.
