House Withdraws State Police Bill, Considers Tinubu's Proposal
On Tuesday, the House of Representatives decided to withdraw its own proposal for a constitutional amendment aimed at establishing state police. Instead, lawmakers will consider a similar bill transmitted by President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
The initial state police bill had already undergone its first and second readings before being referred to the House Committee on Constitutional Review for further legislative action. The decision to suspend the earlier proposal indicates a shift in focus towards the executive's bill, which is expected to undergo detailed scrutiny during the committee stage.
Following this examination, the bill will return to the floor for further consideration by the lawmakers.
