Tinubu Inaugurates Panel to Draft National Policing Bill

President Bola Tinubu has launched a Presidential Working Group to prepare the legal framework for implementing state police across Nigeria. Inaugurated at the Presidential Villa by Chief of Staff Femi Gbajabiamila, the committee will draft a technically robust National Policing Bill now that the Constitution Alteration (State Police) Bill has passed the National Assembly. The group, chaired by Gbajabiamila, includes the Attorney-General, NBA president, NGF chairman, NSC, IGP and other key security and legal officials. It will outline standards for policing, federal-state coordination, human rights safeguards and funding conditions. Governors have pledged to fast-track the constitutional amendment in their assemblies to avoid delays. The initiative aims to add roughly 200,000 state police officers to strengthen Nigeria’s security architecture.
