In a major step toward decentralizing security in Nigeria, the Inspector General of Police Olatunji Disu has officially presented a proposed framework for the establishment of state police to the Deputy Senate President.
The meeting marks a pivotal moment in the ongoing constitutional debate over regional security.
The IG outlined the operational structure, recruitment guidelines, and jurisdictional boundaries for state level policing.
As the Chairman of the Senate Committee on Constitution Review, the Deputy Senate President will now lead the legislative scrutiny of the proposal.
The framework aims to address rising security challenges by allowing states more autonomy in managing local safety while maintaining a synergy with federal forces
This submission is a critical milestone in our effort to reform the nation’s security architecture and bring policing closer to the people.
