Senate to fast-track state police bill this week — Bamidele
The Senate Leader, Opeyemi Bamidele, says the upper legislative chamber will move to fast-track the proposed bill on state policing this week.
He said the Senate is prioritizing discussions on the creation of state police as part of broader efforts to address Nigeria’s worsening security challenges.
According to him, the bill will be given accelerated consideration to ensure quicker legislative progress.
The proposal for state police has been widely debated, with supporters arguing it will improve local security response, while critics have raised concerns about potential abuse by state governments.
