In response to mounting security challenges across Nigeria, the Federal Government and state governors are exploring the possibility of establishing state police forces. The decision emerged from discussions held between President Bola Tinubu and governors from various states at the Presidential Villa in Abuja.
Mohammed Idris, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, revealed that while the idea is still in its preliminary stages, both levels of government acknowledge the urgent need for such a measure. He emphasized that extensive deliberations and consultations among stakeholders are essential before any concrete steps are taken.
