The emergency meeting between President Bola Tinubu and 36 state governors, considered the creation of state police.
Addressing State House correspondents after the meeting, the Minister of Information and National Orientation, Mohammed Idris, explained that the process is still in its infancy and would only take shape after more deliberations between stakeholders.
Thursday’s meeting, held at the Aso Rock Villa follows the recent hike in food prices, economic hardship, and pockets of insecurity recorded in Nigeria.
He said, “There is also a discussion around the issue of state police. The federal government and the state governments are mulling the possibility of setting up state police.
“Of course, this is still going to be further discussed. A lot of work has to be done in that direction. But if our government and the state governments agree to the necessity of having state police, this is a significant shift.
“Like I said, more work needs to be done in that direction. A lot of meetings will have to happen between the Federal Government and dissolved nationals to see the modalities of achieving this.”
