National Assembly Forms Committee on State Police

On Thursday, Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Ben Kalu, announced that the National Assembly has set up a Conference Committee on State Police. This committee was established on Wednesday in Abuja and comprises lawmakers from both the red and green chambers.

The initiative is part of an event titled "Building a Nation: Consensus on State Police," organized by Arise News Channel. Kalu emphasized that the establishment of state police and the embrace of local government autonomy will significantly improve local security.

The committee's formation reflects a growing recognition among governors of the importance of state police in enhancing security at the local level.
