Presidency Confirms Progress on Constitutional Amendment for State Police

Nigeria is preparing for a major security overhaul as the Presidency reports that the constitutional amendment to establish state police is nearing completion. Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila said consultations with the National Assembly and security agencies have advanced the draft proposal significantly. The next step will define how state police units are structured to improve community security across the federation. Stakeholders are now shifting debates from whether state police should exist to how they can best serve local needs. If approved, this reform could reshape the country’s policing framework by bringing law enforcement closer to the people it protects.
