The House of Representatives has approved constitutional amendments to establish state police in Nigeria, marking a significant step toward decentralizing the nation’s security framework.
The decision was reached during Thursday’s plenary, where lawmakers voted in favor of the amendment aimed at empowering states to create and manage their own police forces.
However, the House postponed consideration of other constitutional amendments, opting to defer them to a future legislative session for further debate and review.
The move reflects growing pressure to address Nigeria’s security challenges through localized policing, while also signaling caution on broader constitutional reforms that require more consensus among lawmakers.
