Mbah Advocates for State Policing and Reforms at Townhall

During the Arise News Townhall, Peter Mbah, the Governor of Enugu State, advocated for constitutional reforms that would enable effective state policing. He stated that the current policing model in Nigeria is insufficient to address security threats, which he described as a significant burden on the economy.

Mbah emphasized the necessity for collaboration between state governments and the federal government to clarify roles and responsibilities, particularly regarding funding and security management. He expressed that without clear identification of roles, economic development would be hindered.

Mbah committed to addressing these issues to ensure that Enugu State can handle economic and security matters effectively. He urged stakeholders to work together to engage in rule-making that would support these reforms and enhance the overall security framework in Nigeria.
