Enugu Governor Mbah Urges Independent Funding and Tech Upgrades for State Police
Governor Peter Mbah has called for financial autonomy and modern security infrastructure to support state police services nationwide. Speaking at a town hall on building consensus for state policing, he stressed that any framework must balance national standards and support with local decision-making power. Recalling Enugu’s experience, he explained how AI-enabled CCTV networks, mobile cameras and a Distress Response Squad helped reduce violent crime by over 90%. He also proposed a simple constitutional provision to guarantee state police, allowing future amendments in an Act of the National Assembly while ensuring governors have the operational control needed to meet security targets.
